Review of applications of fluorescence excitation spectroscopy to dermatology

W Franco et al. Br J Dermatol. 2016 Mar.

Abstract

Endogenous molecules that exhibit fluorescence hold the potential to serve as reporters of tissue structure, activity and physiology. Fluorescence excitation spectroscopy is one means to measure and express tissue's innate fluorescence. This review focuses on the application of endogenous fluorescence ultraviolet excitation spectroscopy to dermatology.
