International Classification:
A61B 5/00
US Classification:
600408, 600407, 600476, 600473
Abstract:
Methods and systems for in vivo classification of tissue are disclosed. The tissue is irradiated with light from multiple light sources and light scattered and fluoresced from the tissue is received. Distinct emissions of the sample are identified from the received light. An excitation-emission matrix is generated (). On-diagonal and off-diagonal components of the excitation-emission matrix are identified (). Spectroscopic measures are derived from the excitation-emission matrix (), and are compared to a database of known spectra () permitting the tissue to be classified as benign or malignant (). An optical biopsy needle or an optical probe may be used to contemporaneously classify and sample tissue for pathological confirmation of diagnosis.

Method And Apparatus For Treating Cancer
US Patent:
2013004, Feb 14, 2013
Filed:
Aug 8, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/569574
Inventors:
RICHARD B. RUSE - Atlanta GA, US

International Classification:
A61B 18/12
US Classification:
607 99
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for treating masses, such as prostate or breast cancer, or any other soft tissue cancerous or benign mass, employs a unique, three-dimensional software-controlled electronic amplifier array using arbitrary waveforms that dynamically and proportionally steer electrical currents by using two or more current vector paths, sequentially or simultaneously, through a mass containing electrically-conductive ionic solutions so as to obtain 100% thermal heating or hyperthermia through the mass, and destroying it with a minimally-invasive treatment which requires no radiation or chemotherapy which could be harmful to the patient.
