SHORT-WAVE INFRARED IMAGING AND SPECTROSCOPY TECHNIQUE FOR INFLAMMATION CLASSIFICATION AND TUMOR AND INFLAMMATION DIFFERENTIATION IN HUMAN TISSUES INSIDE THE BODY

摘要

A method for detection, classification and differentiation of inflammation and tumor in animal body tissue, the method comprising: illuminating a region of interest with incident light beams of at least two different wave-bands each of which is in a range in which at least one of the scattering and the absorbing properties of tissue of said region of interest are sensitive to light radiation; (b) sensing, with a sensor unit, reflected light of said least two different wave-bands that is reflected from said region of interest; and (c) determining a presence of irregular tissue in said region of interest based upon identification of at least one local absorbance data in at least one of said least two different wave-bands that is indicative of the present state of tissue inside in body.
