  • PROCESS FOR VISUAL DETERMINATION OF TISSUE BIOLOGY
    Publication number: 20210378591
    Abstract: A method of analysing a target bodily tissue of a subject. The method involves manipulating image data from the target bodily tissue and a background bodily tissue after dosing the subject with a contrast agent. The relative intensities of the light emitted from selected areas of the target bodily tissue and background bodily tissue at different time points after dosing are compared to determine whether 1) the intensity of light emitted from the target bodily tissue is lower than the intensity of light emitted from the background bodily tissue during the first part of the time period; and/or 2) the intensity of light emitted from the target bodily tissue is higher than the intensity of light emitted from the background bodily tissue during the second part of the time period; to assist in the determination of whether the target bodily tissue is benign or malignant.
