## 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
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND The aim of the current clinical study was to evaluate the in vivo fluorescence detection of ovarian carcinoma metastases in a second‐look laparoscopic procedure after intraperitoneally applied 5‐aminolevulinic acid (ALA). ## METHODS Five hours before laparoscopic surger
