BODILY SUBSTANCE DETECTION BY EVALUATING PHOTOLUMINESCENT RESPONSE TO EXCITATION RADIATION
Last updated:
Abstract:
A medical device may include an ablation device configured to deliver ablation energy to a treatment site. The medical device may further include a probe device configured to deliver excitation radiation to the treatment site. Further the medical device may include a radiation-receiving device configured to receive photoluminescence radiation emitted from the treatment site in response to the treatment site being illuminated by the excitation radiation and to generate a detection signal in response to the received photoluminescence radiation. Additionally, the excitation radiation may be different from the ablation energy.
