2021, Photodiagnosis and Photodynamic TherapyCitation Excerpt :An IGS and IGT procedure can include both fluorescence-based visualization and PDT with only one chemical agent being administered to the patient. In the early 1990s, high hopes were placed on the use of autofluorescence (AF) because the results of the first studies [24,25] had demonstrated that AF provided a greater possibility for detecting the areas of bronchial mucosa suspicious for early cancer than observation under white light. This method attracted researchers’ attention mostly due to its simplicity as it did not require administration of any medications and revealed tumor lesions as sites with a negative optical contrast without the need for detailed image analysis.
