  • Publication number: 20240306919
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for monitoring medical treatment of tissue. The method includes: receiving fluorescence spectrum measured while tissue is illuminated by laser light emitted by biomedical laser device; obtaining reference fluorescence data from digital library of fluorescence data, based on type of photosensitizer required to be present in tissue; determining region of interest in measured fluorescence spectrum, based on reference fluorescence spectrum in reference fluorescence data; determining whether signal to noise ratio of measured fluorescence spectrum in region of interest is greater than first threshold; when such determination is true, determining correlation coefficient indicative of correlation between region of interest and reference fluorescence spectrum; determining whether correlation coefficient is greater than second threshold; and when such determination is true, determining that photosensitizer is present in tissue.
