The probe is insertable into the lumen of the cannula, which in turn can be directe ...
A system characterizes tissue using fluorescence spectroscopy, such as light-induced fluorescence. Native fluorescence (“autofluorescence”) from endogenous tissue without requiring fluorescence-enhancing agents is used to distinguish between normal tissue, hyperplastic tissue, adenomatous tissue, an ...
