9 Fraunhofer IKTS in profile Business Division Bio- and Medical Technology Competencies Development, processing and integration of biomaterials Shaping and surface technologies Microsystems technology Sensors and actuators Integration of functional mechatronic components Applications Dental technology Implants/endoprosthetics Instruments Medical components Biosensors and actuators Analytics and diagnostics (Bio)medical analytics and diagnostics

10 Motivation Optical Diagnostic Device Incidence of cancer In year people diseased on cancer in Germany For the year 2014, the scientists were expecting about new cases of cancer Prostate cancer: common cancer and the third leading cause of cancer death of men in Germany The number of new cases of prostate cancer has risen steadily in recent years and in 2010 was about Forecast for 2014 was about Source: 2014 Activartis Biotech GmbH

11 Motivation Diagnostic of prostate cancer diagnostic of prostate cancer is varied a lot of different methods but any method is 100 % satisfying Long waiting time (about 10 days) for result => high psychological stress for patient Biopsy removal is very unpleasant, recurring procedure is sometimes necessary situation in OP hall: OP has to be interuppted physical demand for patient saving of personnel and equipment

12 CLASSIFICATION OF CANCER DEVELOPMENT ACCORDING TO GLEASON normal prostate tissue GG1 GG2 GG3 GG4 GG5 Fractal dimension D F as a key parameter? Dynamics of fractals? C(t) ~ t 2H D F = 2 H Time-resolved fluorescence I(t) ~ auto-correlation function, I(t) = I(t 0 ) [I(t 0 ) I(t )] * C(t t 0 ) P. Waliszewski et.al. Fractal dimension as a novel measure of prostate cancer grading, EAU-Congress (Barcelona, 2010)

13 USE OF FLUORESCENCE SPECTROSCOPY Time-resolved single photon counting (TCSPC) Exitation: laser with high pulse rate (ps, fs) Detector: high-speed photon multiplier x-axis in histogram time difference between exitation and detection; y-axis number of counted photons Advantages of TCSPC high time resolution and optimal signal-noise-ratio

14 USE OF FLUORESCENCE SPECTROSCOPY Measurement results and evaluation Decay over wavelength Decay over the time

15 USE OF FLUORESCENCE SPECTROSCOPY Measurement results and evaluation Definition of maxima with model function Definition of auto-correlation function C(t) := C1(t t 0 ) 2H dc D F := 2 H

16 USE OF FLUORESCENCE SPECTROSCOPY Measurement results and evaluation Data acquisition Diode laser for exitation TCSPC as method for detection Evaluation Use of scale- and time rule, autocorrelation function Result: value of fractal dimension D F (between 1 and 2) Correlation: D F -value result Statistical analysis Classification: 2 classes benign malignant Thresold value TH Fractal dimension Laser wavelength Laser pulse frequenz Laser pulse range Laser intensity Detection Spectral detection range Focus range of the measurement D F 375 nm continous wave (cw), 50 MHz < 90 ps < 5 mw (cw), < 0.5 mw (pulse) DCC-camera (PMC 100, Hickl&Becker) nm 1 x 10 mm Length of fit range [ns] Measure for derivation
