Cancer characterization using light backscattering spectroscopy and quantitative ultrasound: an ex vivo study on sarcoma subtypes

Animal models

In this study, the use of chondrosarcoma and osteosarcoma tumors is motivated by their different microstructures. Characterizing these tumors appears as a way to validate our bimodal method with the aim of establishing a proof-of-concept. Given that the inner mechanisms of our methods probe the tissue microstructure, our approach could potentially be applied to other types of tumors and to healthy tissues.

The experiment was approved by the ethical committee CECCAP (Comité d’éthique en expérimentation animale de la Région Rhône-Alpes, registration number C2EA15, Lyon,…
