Beyond Navigation - Tissue-contacting Fluorescent Lifetime Imaging reveals a pathology-linked lung cancer phenotype at the point of biopsy
Background: Accurate sampling of suspected peripheral lung cancers depends on access to the lesion and confirmation that the biopsy tool is in contact with target tissue. Current bronchoscopic navigation and imaging techniques can guide instruments to a target but do not provide real-time biological confirmation at the point of sampling. Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) provides…
