## Abstract ## BACKGROUND The aim of the current clinical study was to evaluate the in vivo fluorescence detection of ovarian carcinoma metastases in a secondโlook laparoscopic procedure after intraperitoneally applied 5โaminolevulinic acid (ALA). ## METHODS Five hours before laparoscopic surger
## Abstract ## Background and Objectives Studies of 5โaminolevulinic acidโinduced protoporphyrin IX fluorescence have shown a sensitivity of 95โ100% for oral cancer diagnosis, but the specificity is only about 50โ60%. Here, we explore the applicability of quantifying PPIX fluorescence images to im
Background and Objective: 5-Aminolevulinic acid-induced protoporphyrin IX is a promising photosensitizer that could enhance the spectroscopic contrast between normal and diseased oral tissues. Knowledge of the pharmacokinetics and effects on tissue type are important for diagnostic and therapeutic p
Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) investigations have been performed in connection with photodynamic therapy (PDT) of basal cell carcinomas and adjacent normal skin following topical application of 5-aminolaevulinic acid (ALA) in order to study the kinetics of the protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) build-up. F
