Abstract
Diagnostic apparatus for diagnosing the location and the size and the like of cancer tissues. Laser light emitted from a laser light generator is impinged into a first spectroscope and a specific spectrum can be selected from the impinged laser light by the first spectroscope. This specific spectrum is transmitted to the target area of the tissues by a laser light transmitting system. The transmitted spectrum is reflected at the target area to produce a reflected wave. A spectrum can be selected from the reflected wave by a second spectroscope. This spectrum can be detected by a spectrophotometer. The laser light emitted from the laser light generator can be also irradiated against the target area for carrying out treatment and diagnosis simultaneously.
Claims8
Diagnostic apparatus for living tissues, comprising:
- a laser light generator;
- a first spectroscope optically coupled to receive laser light emitted from the laser light generator, wherein said first spectroscope selectively outputs a specific spectrum from the laser light received from the laser light generator;
- a laser light transmitting system optically coupled to receive said specific spectrum output from said first spectroscope and transmit said specific spectrum to a target area of said living tissues;
- a second spectroscope arranged to optically receive light returned from said target area of said living tissues, wherein said second spectroscope selectively outputs a spectrum from the light returned from the target area;
- and
- means, receiving the output from the second spectroscope, for detecting the spectrum selected from light returned from the target area of said living tissues.
