A non-invasive tool for skin disease diagnosis would be a useful clinical adjunct. The purpose of this study was to determine whether visible/near-infrared spectroscopy can be used to non-invasively characterize skin diseases. In-vivo visible- and near-infrared spectra (400-2500 nm) of skin neoplasms...http://www.google.de/patents/US7280866?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatent US7280866 - Non-invasive screening of skin diseases by visible/near-infrared spectroscopy
