  • Autofluorescence detection and imaging of bladder cancer realized through a cystoscope
    Patent number: 7257437
    Abstract: Near infrared imaging using elastic light scattering and tissue autofluorescence and utilizing interior examination techniques and equipment are explored for medical applications. The approach involves imaging using cross-polarized elastic light scattering and/or tissue autofluorescence in the Near Infra-Red (NIR) coupled with image processing and inter-image operations to differentiate human tissue components.
    Type: Grant
