| pubmed-article:16043259 | pubmed:abstractText | Fluorescence flexible bronchoscopy (FFB) has proved to be very useful for detecting carcinoma in situ (CIS) and pre-cancerous lesions of the lung that are generally occult to white light reflectance bronchoscopy (WLRB). However, the increased sensitivity has caused a significant decrease of specificity, resulting in a large number of false positive signals that lead to a significant number of unnecessary biopsies. We have been planning to test a hypothesis that reflectance spectra and fluorescence spectra could be used to distinguish the true positive lesions from the false positive ones. To properly test such hypothesis, several thousand patients will need to be examined to obtain sufficient data from different lung lesions. Towards this goal, we have developed and have been testing a special system (ClearVu Elite ) that facilitates acquisition of both WLRB and FFB spectra during routine bronchoscopy examinations. In this pilot study we examined (1) if such could be used in a practical, routine clinical conditions without affecting commonly used bronchoscopy procedures; (2) if the spectral data obtained from the images are identical to those obtained with fiber-optic probes; and (3) if the few malignant and early neoplastic lesions available for this pilot study show any differences from normal lung tissue. | lld:pubmed |
