Diagnostic instrumentation that provides autofluorescence capabilities is helping clinicians diagnose retinal conditions earlier by showing abnormalities that are often invisible to standard fundus ...

Fundus autofluorescence patterns observed using confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy may be linked to disease progression in patients with age-related macular degeneration and may thereby help ...

Researchers headed by a team at the University of Wisconsin (UW)-Madison, and the Morgridge Institute for Research, have developed a novel label-free imaging technique that exploits autofluorescence ...

Most multiphoton microscopy studies to date use genetically engineered animals that express fluorescent proteins in cells of interest to detect and follow their fate in the tissue. Although very ...

Oral cancer screening techniques have expanded beyond the conventional physical examination over the last several decades. The conventional oral cancer screening, with head and neck examination, ...

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common and deadly forms of cancer worldwide. A key reason for its high death toll is that it often goes undetected until it reaches an advanced stage.
