METHOD OF DIAGNOSING ONCOLOGIC DISEASES Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: oncology. SUBSTANCE: organs with known pathology and organ being examined are exposed to UV radiation with specified power, and secondary luminescence emission spectra are analyzed. Preliminarily, totality of levels of spectral constituents of secondary luminescence emission power for samples of tissue with known pathology are measured. Measured values are normalized and totalities of relative values of spectral constituentsТ levels for each type of pathology and for normal state are determined as diagnostic criteria. In the same way, totality of levels of a suspected region are measured. Measured values are also normalized and totality of relative values of spectral constituentsТ levels of region being examined are compared with preliminarily obtained diagnostic criteria for normal state and characteristic pathological states. Maximum likeness with one of the diagnostic criteria determines type of pathology for the region being examined. EFFECT: improved diagnostic accuracy. 3 dwg
