including early detection of cancers, monitoring the effect of various agents
on the skin, determination of atherosclerotic plaque composition, and rapid
identification of pathogenic microorganisms. They also presented a discus-
sion on the status of the field today, as well as the problems and the issues
that still need to be resolved to bring this technology to hospital settings
(i.e., medical laboratories, surgical suites, or clinics). A path is proposed for
the clinical implementation of the technique.
Head and Neck Cancer
Swinson et al. [40] have published a review paper on optical techniques
used in diagnosis of head and neck malignancies. The article is primarily
about three different methods: fluorescence spectroscopy (FS), elastic scat-
tering spectroscopy (ESS), and Raman spectroscopy (RS). According to the
information presented, these techniques have not only been shown to have
a role in the detection of different kinds of malignancies, but also in per-
forming guided biopsies for monitoring of haemoglobin tissue perfusion
in free flaps and therapeutic drug levels during chemo- and photodynamic
therapy [40].
