Time-gated Raman spectroscopy for biomedical application under ambient or strong background light conditions (2021)
Journal Article

Many biomedical applications require measurements of Raman spectra of tissue under ambient lighting conditions. However, the background light often swamps the weaker Raman signal. The use of time-gated (TG) Raman spectroscopy based on a single photon...

Selective-sampling Raman imaging techniques for ex vivo assessment of surgical margins in cancer surgery (2021)
Journal Article

One of the main challenges in cancer surgery is to ensure the complete excision of the tumour while sparing as much healthy tissue as possible. Histopathology, the gold-standard technique used to assess the surgical margins on the excised tissue, is...

Clinical integration of fast Raman spectroscopy for Mohs micrographic surgery of basal cell carcinoma (2021)
Journal Article

We present the first clinical integration of a prototype device based on integrated auto-fluorescence imaging and Raman spectroscopy (Fast Raman device) for intra-operative assessment of surgical margins during Mohs micrographic surgery of basal cell...

Combined total internal reflection AF spectral-imaging and Raman spectroscopy for fast assessment of surgical margins during breast cancer surgery (2021)
Journal Article

The standard treatment for breast cancer is surgical removal mainly through breast conserving surgey (BCS). We developed a new technique based on auto-fluorescence (AF) spectral imaging and Raman spectroscopy for fast intraoperative assessment of exc...
