Flavin fluorescence lifetime and autofluorescence optical redox ratio for improved visualization and classification of brain tumors

PurposeModern techniques for improved tumor visualization have the aim to maximize the extent of resection during brain tumor surgery and thus improve patient prognosis. Optical imaging of autofluorescence is a powerful and non-invasive tool to monitor metabolic changes and transformation in brain t...
