Abstract
A fiber optic based continous wave laser setup has been developed to record the 5-aminolevulinic (5-ALA) induced Protoporfyrin IX (PpIX) fluorescence signals from cerebral gliomas. To reduce the energy delivered to the tissue as well as suppression of the ambient lamp artifact from the recorded spectra, a pulsed laser setup has been developed and evaluated. This setup has been calibrated and first evaluations were performed on the 5-ALA treated skin showing PpIX fluorescence peaks from the ALA treated skin at 635 and 704 nm wavelengths. The system controls laser pulses through a computer interface and labview software package. Pulses as short as 50 ms over a period time of 500 ms are generated and optimally detected. The results from primary measurements on skin show an effective suppression of room fluorescent lamp artifact from the recorded spectra.
