On-chip integrated optical sensors for fluorescence detection of cancer tissue : application to capsule endoscopy

Human tissues show autofluorescence emission spectra when excited by ultraviolet or short-wavelength visible light. The intensity and shape of these spectra depends of the tissues pathologic state. Therefore, its measurement can give information about the degree of malignant transformations that cou...
