-\\  +My research is interested in optical biopsy methods including time resolved fluorescence and diffused reflectance spectroscopy for tumor margin observation during  interoperation.Clinial instruments has been developed for //ex vivo// and //in vivo// clinical study. Upper GI and Brain  //ex-vivo// study have been done by using TRF and TRF/DRS respectivly. The detail of my project are listed as following:\\

Abstract:\\ Abstract:\\
Time resolved fluorescence (TRF) spectroscopy and diffuse reflectance (DR) spectroscopy have been used as minimally-invasive optical biopsy modalities. They offer real-time alternatives to invasive tissue biopsies. Fluorescence lifetime is independent of intensity variations and adds an additional source of contrast compared to steady state fluorescence. Diffuse reflectance allows for quantitative measurement of optical properties of tissue. Combining both DR and TRF modalities in one optical biopsy instrument allows for the integration of diffuse reflectance, time-resolved, and steady-state spectra for tissue diagnosis as well as real-time correction of the fluorescence lifetime and spectrum based on optical property measurements in-situ. We have designed and developed an integrated clinically compatible apparatus which acquires time-resolved fluorescence and diffuse reflectance simultaneously. We have also designed and fabricated a dual modality, compact fiber-optic probe for fluorescence and diffuse reflectance signal collection. The performance of the system was evaluated and calibrated using a fluorescence tissue phantom model.\\ Time resolved fluorescence (TRF) spectroscopy and diffuse reflectance (DR) spectroscopy have been used as minimally-invasive optical biopsy modalities.

-Conference :Thanking  Ahead For a Strong Future Canada Research Chairs 2010\\ +we report a fiber-probe based scanning hyperspectral TRF imaging system to capture the FLIM images over a broadband wavelength using the acoustic- optical tunable filter (AOTF). In the meantime, Spectral and lifetime of each scanning pixels are captured as well as morphological information of tissue, which are able to provide much more detail information for tissue diagnosis and margin measurement. Comparing with traditional spectrometer setup, AOTF based spectrometer allowed switching the output wavelength very quickly to realize near real time data collection. The detail of system design and calibration will be given in this paper. Furthermore, tissue phantom and biological tissue study have also been involved to evaluate the system performance.\\

 +Abstract: 
 +The ex vivo brain clinical study has been done by using the time resolved fluorescence spectroscopy and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy system respectively to investigate optical properties of brain tumor with normal tissue.14 patients were involved in this study.7 patients diagnosed with glioma were recruited for the study. The patients were scheduled for surgical removal of brain tumor and underwent the planned operation.\\

-Conference :9th  Annual World Congress of SBMT on Brain, Spinal Cord Mapping and Image Guided Therapy \\+Screening and surveillance for gastrointestinal (GI) cancers by endoscopic biopsy is invasive, costly, and has the potential for sampling error. Cancer surveillance, as in Barrett’s esophagus, is particularly challenging because of the surface areas of disease involvement.  
 +Endogenous fluorescence of mucosal tissueprovides intrinsic biochemical and physiological information that may enable real-time, functional diagnosis when combined with white-light endoscopy. Time-resolved fluorescence (TRF) spectroscopy characterizestissue fluorescence emission in terms of intensity, spectral distribution, and radioactive lifetime (Figures 1). Therefore, TRF techniques are attractiveforin vivo minimally-invasive optical biopsy applications, which may provide a more efficient approach to improve the sensitivity of(needle)biopsy while reducing the number of biopsies required, increasing surveillance intervals, and reducing cost.\\
