Modelling, Design and Validation of Spatially Resolved Reflectance Based Fiber Optic Probe for Epithelial Precancer Diagnostics

Abstract: Fiber-optic probes are imperative for in-vivo diagnosis of cancer. Depending on the access to a diseased organ and the mutations one aims to sense, the probe designs vary. We carry out a detailed numerical study of the efficacy of the common probe geometries for epithelial cancer characterization based on spatially resolved reflectance data. As per the outcomes of this comparative study, a probe has been manufactured and using Monte Carlo look up table based inversion scheme, the absorption and scattering coef… Show more

“…To overcome this, a spatially resolved fiber-optic probe (SRFP) is widely recognized and used due to its advantages such as increased DRS data dimensionality and information density for unique determination of tissue optical properties and separation of ρ provides depth sensitivity and specific tissue application to reduce noise 27 . The SRFP has been utilized to distinguish the normal and malignant types of tissue such as brain, 28 colon, 29 stomach, 30 bovine and chicken tissue, 31 porcine oesophageal, 27 cervical precancer, 32 epithelial precancer, 33 and wound in rats 34 . However, to the best of our knowledge, no SRFP has been used so far to detect spatially resolved DRS signal from normal and diabetic human foot to diagnose DFU.…”

“…Fluorescence spectroscopy captures biochemical and morphological changes occurring in different layers of tissue with disease progression. These changes play a significant role in identifying discriminatory signatures present in the fluorescence spectra of different grades of abnormalities [18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. Cervical tissue undergoes various changes with increasing abnormality such as breakage of collagen fiber cross-links in the bottom stromal layer, increase in NADH fluorescence and decrease in FAD fluorescence in the top epithelium layer due to increase in the metabolic activities, hence change in the energy cycle [25][26][27].…”

“…Light in its visible, infrared and UV wavelengths has been used by researchers to identify subtle bio-chemical and morphological changes at cellular level which occur during cancer progression. Optical methods such as fluorescence spectroscopy (FS) [7][8][9][10], diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) [11,12], and Raman spectroscopy (RS) [13,14], etc., are being widely explored for early diagnosis of various types of cancers [15][16][17]. The first use of optical technique for disease diagnosis was reported by Alfano et al in 1987 through fluorescence spectra of breast and lung human tissues in their normal and diseased form [18].…”
