  • Patent number: 8694266
    Abstract: Multimodal optical spectroscopy systems and methods produce a spectroscopic event to obtain spectroscopic response data from biological tissue, either ex vivo or in vivo, and compare the response data with a model configured to correlate the measured response data and the most probable attributes of the tissue, thus facilitating classification of the tissue based on those attributes.

  • Publication number: 20130005598
    Abstract: A method of diagnosing the malignant potential of a pancreatic cystic lesion in a subject including: detecting a glycan alteration in MUC5AC in a sample of pancreatic cystic lesion fluid from a subject, determining whether the glycan alteration is differentially present in the sample, and diagnosing the malignant potential of the pancreatic cystic lesion. A method of diagnosing the malignant potential of a pancreatic cystic lesion in a subject including: (a) detecting a glycan alteration in MUC5AC in a sample of pancreatic cystic lesion fluid from a subject, (b) detecting CA 19-9 in the sample, (c) determining whether the glycan alteration and CA 19-9 are differentially present in the sample, and (d) diagnosing the malignant potential of the pancreatic cystic lesion. Related methods of treatment and kits also are included.

  • Patent number: 8239139
    Abstract: Multimodal optical spectroscopy systems and methods produce a spectroscopic event to obtain spectroscopic response data from biological tissue and compare the response data with preset criteria configured to correlate the measured response data and the most probable attributes of the tissue, thus facilitating classification of the tissue based on those attributes for subsequent biopsy or remedial measures as necessary.
