example 1

[0097] use figure 2 A near-infrared Raman system of the type exemplified in , to acquire real-time in vivo lung spectra of lesions in lung tissue. Lung tissue was obtained from 26 people selected from a group of 46 people who underwent bronchoscopy. Bronchologists use combined WLB and AFB to identify lesions for biopsy. Of the 46 participants, 26 were found to have lesions recommended by a bronchologist for biopsy. Raman spectra from these lesions were obtained using the equipment described herein. 129 Raman spectra were measured. Obtain clear in vivo Raman spectra in one second exposure.

[0098] Biopsies were taken at the same location and triaged by a pathologist. According to World Health Organization guidelines (see e.g. Travis WD et al., Histologic and graphical text slides for the histological typing of lung and pleural tumors.), using eight classifications. The eight categories are: normal epithelium, hyperplasia (including goblet cell hyperplasia and basal / res...

Abstract

Near-infrared Raman spectroscopy can be applied to identify preneoplastic lesions of the bronchial tree. Real-time in vivo Raman spectra of lung tissues may be obtained with a fiber optic catheter passed down the instrument channel of a bronchoscope. Using prototype apparatus, preneoplastic lesions were detected with sensitivity and specificity of 96 % and 91 % respectively. The use of Raman spectroscopy apparatus and methods in conjunction with other bronchoscopy imaging modalities can substantially reduce the number of false positive results.
