Initial Experiences In The Photoacoustic Detection Of Melanoma Metastases In Resected Lymph Nodes
PHOTONS PLUS ULTRASOUND: IMAGING AND SENSING 2011(2011)
摘要
Accurate lymph node analysis is essential to determine the prognosis and treatment of patients suffering from melanoma. The initial results of a tomographic photoacoustic modality to detect melanoma metastases in resected lymph nodes are presented based on phantom models and a human lymph node. The results show melanoma metastases detection is feasible and the setup is capable of distinguishing absorbing structures down to 1 mm. In addition, the use of longer laser wavelengths could result in an image containing a higher contrast ratio. Future research shall be focused on using the melanin characteristics to improve contrast and detection possibilities.
