(author), Van Duijnhoven, Frederieke (author), Hendriks, B.H.W. (author), Sterenborg, Henricus J.C.M. (author), Ruers, Theo J.M. (author)Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) can discriminate different tissue types based on optical characteristics. Since this technology has the ability to detect tumor tissue, several groups have proposed to use DRS for margin assessment during breast-conserving surgery for breast cancer. Nowadays, an increasing number of patients with breast...journal article 2019

(author), Sanders, Joyce (author), Sterenborg, Henricus J.C.M. (author), Hendriks, B.H.W. (author), Ruers, Theo J.M. (author)Background: Breast cancer surgeons struggle with differentiating healthy tissue from cancer at the resection margin during surgery. We report on the feasibility of using diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) for real-time in vivo tissue characterization. Methods: Evaluating feasibility of the technology requires a setting in which...journal article 2018
