      TechniqueClassificationRef.Characteristic
      Contact spectroscopic probe-[41][57]1) It’s more accurately to describe background signal and often used as a gold-standard.2) It is unaffected by topographic variations (as long as good contact with tissue surface is achieved)[70].3) It provides tissue imaging view fields at mesoscopic scales of order of one millimeter[3].
      Non-contact wide-field imaging systemQuantitative spatial frequency domain fluorescence imaging[67][68]1) Imaging allows for mapping spatial distribution of photosensitizer.2) Longer acquisition time of non-contact wide-field imaging compared with probe is susceptible to temporal changes occurring in surgical field during measurement[70].3) Fluorescence imaging is highly sensitive to lighting variations, due to irregular and non-flat tissue surfaces, and operating room environment[41].
      Snapshot quantitative fluorescence imaging[69][53]
      Wide-field spectrum differentiation fluorescence imaging[62][70]
      Novel quantitative fluorescence imaging techniqueFluorescence tomography[75][77]Technology produces wide-field image estimates of depth of fluorophore[77].
      Single-cell resolved microscopic fluorescence quantitative technique[80][35]Optical microscopy provides capabilities to view photosensitizer-fluorescing tumor regions at cellular resolution[80].
      Portable quantitative fluorescence imaging technology[29][84]Quantitative wide-field fluorescence imaging system is low-cost and designed for maximal ease of translation into clinical workflow[84].
      Endoscopic fluorescence quantitative imaging technology[11][86]Technology is least invasive and gives access to imaging of internal body organs[86].
