Abstract :
We report various technologies developed in our lab for in vivo Raman spectroscopy and related clinical applications. This includes macroscopic probes and endoscopy catheters that interrogate millimeter-scale tissue volumes for skin and lung cancer detection and a confocal microscopy system for depth-resolved Raman measurements of the skin in vivo.
