Abstract
The clinical utility of spectroscopic methods for the diagnosis of cervical cancer is limited by significant inter-patient variation in the spectroscopic properties of the cervix. Improved understanding of the contributions of the components of cervical tissue to the observed spectra would therefore be helpful in the development of spectroscopic approaches to the study of cervical disease in vivo. In this study, we used organotypic epithelial raft culture as an in vitro model system to analyse the fluorescence properties of the surface squamous epithelium specifically.
