Abstract :
Light-induced fluorescence detection using Photofrin® topically provides a sensitive, noninvasive technique for the early identification of malignant neoplasms in the oral cavity. The development of an endoscopic fluorescence imaging system that could be used for real-time, noninvasive and diagnosis in clinical application.
