SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SENSING, ENUMERATING AND IMAGING RARE CELLS WITH DIFFUSE LIGHT

摘要

Diffuse fluorescence flow cytometers and methods of using them include a plurality of excitation sources and a plurality of detectors, all circumferentially arranged about a space for accommodating a limb of a subject. Tomographic reconstructions of cells within the limb are made by varying the intensity and direction of excitation and then analyzing the results.
