The range of clinical application of Raman fluorescence diagnostics in assessing the state of human tissues in normal and pathological conditions

The presented work provides a rationale for the development of an innovative, universal, digital diagnostic complex for express Raman-fluorescence diagnostics. The range and algorithm of its clinical application are presented, providing a sano- and pathogenetic approach to the objectivity and effectiveness of assessing human tissues and organs in health and pathology: diseases and processes of microbial and neoplastic nature (in clinical microbiology, dentistry, obstetrics and gynecology, oncology, gastroenterology, pharmacology). The solution to these issues is based on the methodology of laser digital photometry, basic requirements and principles of modern science and practice, providing controlled treatment of a specific disease in a specific patient. The prospects for the use of the method and equipment are outlined.
