Abstract

Development of a clinically acceptable laser angioplasty system has been hindered by the inability to adequately guide ablative laser radiation to atherosclerotic plaque. Low power laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy is capable of discriminating normal and atherosclerotic arterial tissue. The purpose of this investigation was to develop and evaluate several spectral classification algorithms that would enable discrimination of atherosclerotic and normal arterial tissue by a computer controlled fluorescence guided laser angioplasty system.
