This type of modeling, as well as wide field FLIM [84-86] and endoscopy [72] have tremendous potential for clinical diagnosis. Although still at the preclinical stage, various groups have looked at the differences in fluorescence spectrum and decay profiles in breast cancer [87, 88], the gastrointestinal tract [89], and skin cancer [90, 91] (see also Chapter 4).

An optical fused quartz fiber is inserted through the urinary tract until it nearly touches the stone that is to be broken. This can be monitored by X-ray diagnosis or by endoscopy through a fiber bundle that contains, besides the fiber for guiding the laser beam, other fibers for illumination, viewing and monitoring the laser-induced fluorescence (Fig. 10.62).
