Tumor Detection in vivo with Optical Spectroscopy.
Ultrasound induced blood stasis has been observed for a long time, but to date most experimental observations have been in vitro. In this paper we discuss a possible diagnostic use for this previously undesirable effect of ultrasound - tumor detection in vivo. We demonstrate that, using optical spectroscopy, effects of ultrasound can be used to differentiate tumor from non-tumor in murine tissue. Finally, we propose a novel diagnostic algorithm that quantitatively differentiates tumor from non-tumor with maximum specificity 0.83, maximum sensitivity 0.79, and area under ROC curve 0.90.
