Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther. 2017 Sep:19:239-242. doi: 10.1016/j.pdpdt.2017.06.008. Epub 2017 Jun 16.

Abstract

In this communication, we present that wide-field optical fluorescence might be useful for: the screening of oral lesions that are imperceptible to the naked eye, determination of biopsy area, better definition of treatment, and previous and post-treatment follow-up.

Keywords: Fluorescence; Oral cancer; Oral squamous cell carcinoma; Wide-field image.
