Tumor detection in vivo NIRF images

Recent developments in the field of biotechnology and imaging systems have enabled real-time in vivo imaging at both the cellular and molecular level. This paper focuses on a technique that has been designed to detect tumor cells in vivo when using NIRF (near-infrared 705-715 nm range fluorescence) images. Experimental results indicate that the algorithm offers reasonably accurate estimates of the tumor parameters in the presence of white noise and varying background.
