Laser-Induced Differential Normalized Fluorescence Method For Cancer Diagnosis

US Patent:
5579773, Dec 3, 1996
Filed:
Sep 30, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/316132
Inventors:
Tuan Vo-Dinh - Knoxville TN
Masoud Panjehpour - Knoxville TN
Bergein F. Overholt - Knoxville TN
Assignee:
Martin Marietta Energy Systems, Inc. - Oak Ridge TN
International Classification:
A61B 600
US Classification:
128665
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for cancer diagnosis are disclosed. The diagnostic method includes the steps of irradiating a tissue sample with monochromatic excitation light, producing a laser-induced fluorescence spectrum from emission radiation generated by interaction of the excitation light with the tissue sample, and dividing the intensity at each wavelength of the laser-induced fluorescence spectrum by the integrated area under the laser-induced fluorescence spectrum to produce a normalized spectrum. A mathematical difference between the normalized spectrum and an average value of a reference set of normalized spectra which correspond to normal tissues is calculated, which provides for amplifying small changes in weak signals from malignant tissues for improved analysis. The calculated differential normalized spectrum is correlated to a specific condition of a tissue sample.

Therapeutic Methods And Devices For Irradiating Columnar Environments

US Patent:
6146409, Nov 14, 2000
Filed:
Sep 4, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/716788
Inventors:
Bergein F. Overholt - Knoxville TN
Masoud Panjehpour - Knoxville TN
Mike Stonefield - Vancouver, CA
Assignee:
Thompson Cancer Survival Center - Knoxville TN
QLT PhotoTherapeuticcs Inc.
International Classification:
A61B 1736
US Classification:
607 88
Abstract:
The present invention provides improved methods and devices for delivering light to the surface of a biological column, for example in the treatment of Barrett's esophagus using PDT. The improvement comprises the use of an extended irradiation segment or window. The improved methods of the present invention permits treatment lengths of the biological column to be increased without increasing the incidence of stricture formation.
