Abstract (en)
[origin: CA2604491A1] Methods and systems related to detecting disease, such as oral cancer, in a patient, using a viewing scope to investigate a patient's tissues. The syste ms and methods excite and detect fluorescence from the tissue. The fluorescence can then be evaluated, and the possibility of certain diseases such as cance r can be determined. The devices include an ambient light management system (ALMS, often referred to as a "vestibular device") that manages background light in the health practitioner's office. This device can be used with scop e systems for fluorescence based detection of abnormal tissue.
