Abstract
Increased cellular metabolic activity, a hallmark of malignant epithelial cells, can be quantified by imaging the oral tissue autofluorescence originated from the metabolic cofactors NADH and FAD. We report a novel multispectral autofluorescence lifetime imaging (maFLIM) handheld probe capable of simultaneous autofluorescence excitation at 375 nm (for NADH) and 445 nm (for FAD), and simultaneous multispectral time-resolved fluorescence measurement at four emission spectral channels. The performance of the dual-wavelength excitation maFLIM handheld probe was assessed by imaging fluorescent dye standards with well characterized fluorescence lifetimes, and the oral mucosa of human subjects in oral health care settings.
