Fluorescence spectroscopy | No. of cases detected | Percentage |
---|---|---|
NADH | 31 | 67.4 |
Collagen | 34 | 74 |
Combineda | 44 | 95.6 |
NADH Fluorescence had diagnostic accuracy of 67.4 %, whereas collagen fluorescence had a diagnostic accuracy of 74 %. However, a combined technique can detect 95.6 % of cases
aCombined cases are those which show changes in either NADH or collagen fluorescence or both
