Towards the use of diffuse reflectance spectroscopy for real-time in vivo detection of breast cancer during surgery

Abstract Background Breast cancer surgeons struggle with differentiating healthy tissue from cancer at the resection margin during surgery. We report on the feasibility of using diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) for real-time in vivo tissue characterization. Methods Evaluating feasibility of th...
