| Abstract | The standard clinical practice for detection of bladder tumours is standard white light cystoscopy. Major concerns related to cystoscopy include its invasive, causes discomfort to the patient and also it misses flat tumors (carcinoma in situ). Recently, considerable progress has been made in the development of optical spectroscopy and imaging based on fluorescence, reflectance and Raman for disease diagnosis. The basic objective behind optical technologies to is skip the time consuming tissue pathology, to provide real time results and moreover to reduce the emotional strain on the patients waiting for the results. In this context, we propose to implement diffuse reflectance spectroscopy for staging and grading urothelial carcinoma by estimating the tissue optical properties such as absorption and reduced scattering coefficients. Tissue optical properties emulates the underlying physiological and morphological properties of the tissue. In the visible region of spectrum light absorption is dominated by hemoglobin. While light scattering is primarily due to the changes in nuclear size and density as well as from the collagen fibres. Tumour tissues exhibit considerable changes in these properties which could be quantified using reflectance spectroscopic measurements. Our study indicates a changes in the reflectance spectral profile between normal and different grades of urothelial carcinoma. Also, at wavelengths greater than 640 nm (where scattering is dominant) we found an increased intensity when compared to the normal tissues. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
