Discriminating benign from malignant thyroid nodules in real-time using a novel probe with an integrated elastic scattering spectroscopy biopsy syringe
… results for approximately 10–25% of biopsies, necessitating thyroidectomy for diagnosis. Elastic scattering spectroscopy (ESS) is a minimally invasive optical biopsy technique that is sensitive to cellular and subcellular morphological features. We hypothesized that it was feasible to use ESS in …
