Significant numbers of liver biopsies fail to yield representative tissue samples. This study was conducted to evaluate the ability of LED-based diffuse reflectance spectroscopy to discriminate tumors from liver parenchyma. Ex vivo spectra were acquired from malignant lesions and liver parenchyma of 32 patients who underwent liver resection using a white light source and several LEDs. Integrated spectra of two combined LEDs with emission peaks at 470 nm and 515 nm were classified with 98.4% sensitivity and 99.2% specificity. The promising results could yield to a simple handheld and cost-efficient tool for real-time tissue differentiation implemented in a biopsy needle.
大量肝脏活检未能获取具有代表性的组织样本。本研究旨在评估基于发光二极管(LED)的漫反射光谱技术区分肿瘤组织与肝实质的能力。利用白光光源和多个发光二极管,采集了32例接受肝切除术患者的恶性病变组织和肝实质的离体光谱。对发射峰位于470纳米和515纳米的两个组合发光二极管的积分光谱进行分类,灵敏度为98.4%,特异性为99.2%。这些有前景的结果可能会产生一种简单、便携且经济高效的工具,用于在活检针中实现实时组织鉴别。
