## Abstract ## Background and Objectives Studies of 5‐aminolevulinic acid‐induced protoporphyrin IX fluorescence have shown a sensitivity of 95–100% for oral cancer diagnosis, but the specificity is only about 50–60%. Here, we explore the applicability of quantifying PPIX fluorescence images to im
## Background and objective: In bladder cancer, conventional white light endoscopic examination of the bladder does not provide adequate information about the presence of "flat" urothelial lesions such as carcinoma in situ. in the present investigation, we examine a new technique for the photodetec
