Applications of Time-Resolved Fluorescence Spectroscopy to Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease and Brain Tumors Diagnosis

Abstract

Fluorescence spectroscopy provides information about biochemical, functional, and structural changes of biomolecular complexes in tissues that occur due to either pathological transformation or therapeutic intervention [1-3]. Early detection, diagnosis, and monitoring of pathological conditions using fluorescence spectroscopy may lead to effective treatment of critical diseases including atherosclerosis and cancer. In addition, because fluorescence-based devices allow for light delivery and collection using fiber-optic probes, such fluorescence-based devices not only facilitate non- or minimally invasive investigations of tissues with catheters or endoscopic probes, but also enhance the diagnostic capability of traditional clinical devices.
