Purpose The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the most investigated optical
diagnostic techniques: optical coherence tomography, fluorescence spectrometry …

The melanin fluorescence emitted by pigment cells of the human skin has been a central
research topic for decades, because melanin, on the one hand, protects against (solar) …

Fluorescent nanosensor probes have suffered from limited molecular recognition and a
dearth of strategies for spatial-temporal operation in cell culture. In this work, we spatially …

Early detection and treatment of skin cancer can significantly improve patient outcome.
However, present standards for diagnosis require biopsy and histopathologic examinations …

A clinical trial on multi-spectral imaging of malignant and non-malignant skin pathologies
comprising 17 melanomas and 65 pigmented common nevi was performed. Optical density …

A clinical trial comprising 334 pigmented and vascular lesions has been performed in three
Riga clinics by means of multispectral imaging analysis. The imaging system Nuance 2.4 …

One of the most challenging problems in clinical dermatology is the early detection of
melanoma. Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) is an added tool to dermoscopy …

Backscattered circularly polarized light from turbid media consists of helicity-flipped and
helicity-preserved photon sub-populations (ie, photons of perpendicular and parallel circular …

Laser surgery is a rising surgical technique, which offers several advantages compared to
the traditional scalpel. However, laser surgery lacks a contact-free feedback system which …

In this report, we propose a novel strategy for the photodynamic approach to the treatment of
melanoma, aiming to mitigate the excessive absorption and consequent thermal effects. The …
