Preferred Label : Light-Scattering Spectroscopy;
NCIt related terms : LiSSP; LIGHT SCATTERING SPECTROSCOPY;
NCIt definition : The nuclei of precancerous lesions are distinct in that they become enlarged, crowded
and hyperchromatic. Light-scattering spectroscopy can diagnose early epithelial cancers
based on the scattering of light through their enlarged nuclei. (from Medscape);
Alternative definition : CDISC: A type of spectroscopy that measures power spectral density of surface morphology
by exploiting the tendency of light to disperse into a range of directions as a result
of physical interaction.;
