Precise targeting of laser energy to atherosclerotic plaque is crucial for the safe performance of laser angioplasty. The present study was designed to evaluate whether laser-induced fluorescence could distinguish atherosclerotic from normal aorta. Segments of human aorta obtained at necropsy were c

In the spectral range 34500-40000 cm-1, two molecular species were detected by means of laser-induced fluorescence in the 193 nm photolysis of acetylene: one is C2(a 3Hu), the other is most likely C2H(X). The identification of C2H is based upon the rotational constants (B"= 1.4397-1.4534 cm-t), the
Laser induced fluorescence (LIF) with wide area surveillance for resected thyroid tissue solid chunks is presented. The characteristic LIF spectra of goiter were established. The state of tissue at each point represents a superposition of normal and pathology states. To our knowledge two co-existing
## Background and objective: The background for this work was several literature reports on applications of the fluorescence methods to detection and localization of human cancers. the objective of our study has been to investigate if such an approach could be applied for the detection of gastric c
