Abstract
An algorithm has been developed for spectral analysis of backscatteredradiofrequency signals. It has been tested on a tissue model, a gelsuspension of calibrated latex spheres (between 20 and 100 μm in diameter),and on malignant intraocular tumours. The results so far appear promising regarding tissue differential diagnosis.
