Title: Fluorescence confocal mosaicing microscopy of basal cell carcinomas ex vivo: Demonstration of rapid surgical pathology with high sensitivity and specificity
Conference Title: Frontiers in Optics, FiO 2008
Abstract: Fluorescence confocal mosaicing (FCM) detects basal cell carcinomas in Mohs surgical skin excisions within 5-9 minutes, compared to 20-45 for frozen histology. The sensitivity is 96.6% and pecificity is 89.2%. FCM is sensitive and rapid. © 2008 OSA.
