Layered Gel-Based Phantoms Mimicking Fluorescence of Cervical Tissue

  • Conference paper
Optics and Lasers in Biomedicine and Culture

Abstract

In recent decades autofluorescence spectroscopy has proved its potential to distinguish between neoplasia and tumors and normal human tissue. When combined with endoscopic techniques and instrumentation the method has become an effective tool for noninvasive diagnosis of neoplasia and early tumors in human epithelium and subepithelium which are the tissues easily accessible to endoscopic optical probing [1–7].
