摘 要:Ultrasound-guided biopsy procedure for prostate cancer diagnosis,which is the current gold standard,involves quasi-random sampling of prostate tissue without any functional *** this study,we discuss the possibility to augment the detection of prostate cancer using a dual-modality optical approach,which can be coupled with the current needle biopsy *** techniques are light reflectance spectroscopy(LRS)that uses a broadband light source and a CCD array spectrometer,and auto-fluorescence lifetime measurement(AFLM)that uses a custom-designed,time-correlated single photon counting(TCSPC)*** LRS and AFLM were employed sequentially in this study to measure cancer tissue along with control tissue on a rat prostate tumor *** an excitation wavelength of 447 nm,we investigated auto-fluorescence decay curves at the emission wavelengths of 532,562,632 and 684 nm for in vivo and ex vivo *** results show that auto-fluorescence lifetimes at all measured emission wavelengths differ between control and cancerous tissues with 100% specificity and ***,absolute values of hemoglobin derivatives and scattering coe±cient were quantified using in vivo *** part of study also demonstrates that light scattering and absorption are significantly different between the control and cancerous ***,the study demonstrates that both LRS and AFLM may provide several intrinsic biomarkers for in vivo detection of prostate cancer.
