Abstract :

Digitalization of human body samples evaluation fits to personalized medicine requirements by personâ�?�?s and sample data use in diagnostic algorithm. Fluorescence spectroscopy techniques are under intense introduction into the smart applications for everyday life. Cancer was one of the target areas. Endometrial pathology was an area where chemical dynamics of changes in the tissues was well recognized. Endometrial tissue samples, also endometrial washing were tested by fluorescence spectroscopy to create diagnostic algorithms, based on pathology standards. Both endometrial objects were successfully classified for benign vs. malignant condition recognition with proper accuracy. For cervical cancer prevention, both in vivo and in vitro fluorescence diagnostics devices and programs were created by local and international resources. While imaging technologies manifested as far-off practical application, the cervical smear spectroscopy was revealed to be reasonable for, at point of care application. The special diagnostic program creation for smear discrimination resulted in automatization of diagnostics, which further could be applied for data clouding and application in remote regions by health care personnels. The so called â�?�?optical biopsyâ�? technology is the example of space science landing on the human utility level, where pure molecular information is classified by â�?�?golden standardâ�? of pathology means. So medical experience transfer into modern technology results in the expansion of highest standards application globally.
