title = "Fluorescence lifetime imaging of cancer in vivo",
abstract = "Optical imaging of fluorescent reporters in animal models of cancer has become a common tool in oncologic research. Fluorescent reporters including fluorescent proteins, organic dyes, and inorganic photonic materials are used in fluorescence spectroscopy, microscopy, and whole body preclinical imaging. Fluorescence lifetime imaging provides additional, quantitative information beyond that of conventional fluorescence intensity signals, enabling signal multiplexing, background separation, and biological sensing unique to fluorescent materials.",
