摘要

This report focuses on the diagnosis of metastases affecting the liver of an animal model through a fiber-optic probe delivering visible light and the analysis through the Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy. The metastases induction was limited to the right lobes of the liver, with the uncontaminated lobes of the same animal used as healthy control. The experiments were performed either on explanted organs or in vivo, on anaesthetised animals. The analysis of the reflectance intensities showed broad differences between the metastasis and the control. From both situations a panel of diagnostic wavelengths was argued, upon considering the specificity of the respective spectrum profile: 470 ÷ 480 nm, 485 ÷ 495 nm, 626 ÷ 632 nm and 636 ÷ 640 nm, plus smaller intervals centred at 500 nm and 535 nm. As consequence, we suggest that this probe configuration could be worthy of being further developed as a diagnostic tool. Introduction Biological tissue is assumed to behave as a turbid optical medium (Perelman LT et al, 1994, Yodh A el al, 1995). Several components are considered as responsible for both the absorption and the scattering of an incident light radiation (Perelman LT et al, 1998). The latter phenomenon provides significant attractiveness as far as the field of the optical biopsy is concerned, mainly due to the possibility of investigating tissue pathologies, such as cancerous or even pre-cancerous lesions, by means of a non-invasive approach. It is generally assumed that changes in the optical properties of biological tissues are the consequence of variations involving either the physiology or the morphology of the cells (Amelink A et al, 2004).Several recent studies, aimed at the achievement of consistent solutions for the equations derived from the complex theories concerning the Light Scattering Spectroscopy (LSS), have been especially focussing on the measurements of the optical properties within the superficial layers of the biological tissue, for example at the level of mucosae (Perelman LT et al, 1998). As a matter of fact, many types of solid tumours arise within the epithelial layers and some common features have been reported, mostly concerning the morphology and the invasiveness of the malignant cells in the underlying tissues. The evidence of a significant enlargement of the nuclear dimensions in the tumour cells and cells crowding, as compared with those of the normal tissue, was obtained first through optical microscopy, the gold-standard technique, as reported for example in the case of breast, colon, bladder, prostate, cervix and liver cancers (Dukor R, 2002). The equation proposed by Van de Hulst (vd Hulst HC, 1957) has been used in order to describe the optical scattering cross-section (σ) of the epithelial nuclei and the related reflectance (R), as measured by means of an optical probe and conformingly to the theory of Mie (Perelman LT et al, 1998). By means of such analysis it has been possible to differentiate effectively the nuclear size distribution of malignant cell lines from that of the normal counterpart.Unfortunately, other sub-cellular structures of minor dimensions, ranging from the mitochondrion to the collagen based extracellular matrix, and including several chromophores such as the haemoglobin, contribute significantly to the scattering or absorption of the light (Perelman LT et al, 1998), so that the averaged scattering properties in a tissue depend ultimately on the individual scattering properties of such sub-cellular entities and their relative concentrations, yet the prediction of each sub-cellular particle’s size contribution to the transport scattering coefficient (μ’s) remains a controversial item (Mourant JR et al, 1998, Mourant JR et al, 2000). For example, in the study of Beauvoit and collaborators (Beauvoit B el al, 1995) a correlation has been shown between μ’s and the mitochondrial content of a panel of rat’s investigated tissues, the white adipose tissue representing an intrigu
