Abstract:
A method of monitoring a time-varying fluorescence emitted from a fluorescent agent from within a diffuse reflecting medium with time-varying optical properties is disclosed that includes providing at least two measurements obtained from a patient before and after administration of the fluorescent agent that includes an Flr meas  signal detected adjacent to the medium by a filtered light detector during illumination of the medium by excitatory-wavelength light, and at least one DR signal selected from: a DR ex meas  DR em , and DR em,filtered  signal. The method further includes identifying a post-equilibration portion of the measurement data set and transforming each Flr meas  signal within the post-equilibration portion of the measurement data set to an IF agent  signal representing a detected fluorescence intensity emitted solely by the fluorescent agent from within the medium. The disclosed method includes removing the effects of leak-through of excitation-level light and removing the effects of autofluorescence from the Flr meas  signal.

Claim (Index 12):
The method of  claim 8 , wherein C ExLT  is obtained by:\n obtaining measurements from a solid phantom, the measurements comprising:\n a fluorescence signal Flr meas  representing emission-wavelength fluorescence measured using the filtered light detector; \n an excitation-wavelength light signal DR ex meas  measured using a non-filtered light detector; and \n computing C ExLT  according to Eqn. (22): \n C ExLT = Flr meas DR ex meas . Eqn . \ue89e ( 22 )
