ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and in vivo methods to distinguish normal and abnormal cervical tissue and to detect cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) in a diagnostic cervical tissue sample. Induced fluorescence intensity spectra from known normal cervical tissue and a diagnostic tissue sample are obtained from the same patient. Peak fluorescence intensity values for normal tissue samples are averaged, as are slope measurements from predetermined portions of spectra induced in both known normal cervical tissue and the diagnostic tissue sample. Peak fluorescence intensities of diagnostic tissue spectra are divided by average peak fluorescence intensity values for normal tissue in the same patient to yield relative peak fluorescence intensity values. Normal and abnormal cervical tissues are distinguished using a predetermined empirical discriminant function of slope measurements derived from normal tissue spectra and relative peak fluorescence intensity measurements in the same patient. CIN is distinguished from tissue with human papilloma virus injection or inflammation using a predetermined empirical discriminant function of average slope measurements on spectra from known normal tissue and slope measurements on a diagnostic tissue spectrum.
