The in vivo early detection of subcutaneous human tumors implanted in small animals was studied by laser-induced fluorescence reflectance imaging (FRI), with a hematoporphyrin (HP) compound as an exogenous optical contrast agent. Tumor detection was shown to be possible just 3 days after the inoculation of tumor cells, when tumors were neither visible nor palpable. However, this detection capability is limited to a temporal window of approximately 100 h from HP administration and to a low optical contrast of the tumor (<2).
采用激光诱导荧光反射成像(FRI)技术,以血卟啉(HP)化合物作为外源性光学造影剂,对植入小动物体内的皮下人类肿瘤进行了体内早期检测研究。结果表明,在接种肿瘤细胞仅3天后,当肿瘤既不可见也不可触及时,仍有可能检测到肿瘤。然而,这种检测能力仅限于从给予HP后约100小时的时间窗口,并且肿瘤的光学对比度较低(<2)。
