Noninvasive evaluation of oral lesions using depth‐sensitive optical spectroscopy

Optical spectroscopy is a noninvasive technique with potential applications for diagnosis of oral dysplasia and early cancer. In this study, we evaluated the diagnostic performance of a depth‐sensitive optical spectroscopy (DSOS) system for distinguishing dysplasia and carcinoma from non‐neoplastic oral mucosa.
