Auto fluorescence Diagnosis of Precancer/Early Cancer of the Bronchus

Abstract

Recentry several endoscopic fluorescence detection system have been created. Laser light was used for the excitation of autofluorescence, and sophisticated techniques also were necessary to amplify the fluorescence signal as well.
The authors tried to simplify the system with a conventional Xenon lamp excitation and image intensifier. Sensitivity of dysplasia increased in fluorescence endoscope compared with the white light.
In this paper, developed endoscope for cetection of tisue/mucosal autofluorescence is evaluated.
