Abstract:
Novel optical-based diagnostic systems are promising technologies that can be used in the clinic providing the clinician with an adjunct to histopathological assessment and facilitating rapid diagnosis for patients. Aided by the use of differing wavelengths of light, these systems are capable of detecting changes within tissues and provide immediate results. We reviewed the most common optical biopsy systems to detect oral and head and neck lesions and discussed their clinical applications.
