Background and Objectives: The paper aim was to evaluate the efficacy of the fluorescence spectroscopy in
the detection of UV-induced skin change of Wistar rats.
Study Design/ Materials and Methods: In a group male Wistar rats, the skin damage was produced by an
UV-C lamp, periodically monitored using the laser-induced fluorescence, until complete healing process.
After determining a characteristic emission band present in the fluorescence spectra of the induced injuries,
the amplitude band monitoring allowed the follow up on the injury and the recovery.
Results: We observed the appearance of two new emission bands more evident at the injury spectra when
compared to the spectrums from normal non-exposed tissue. Following such spectral bands was possible to
observe the establishment and recovery.
Conclusions: The fluorescence spectroscopy is a promising technique in distinguishing between normal and
UV induced skin change helping the evaluation of changes which are irreversible cancer tissue characteristics.
