Abstract
Laser-induced auto-fluorescence spectra were recorded during the exposure of peripheral vascular tissue to both Helium-Cadmium and Argon ion radiation. Femoral, flank and ham artery samples from by-pass operations were obtained in an unfixed state, within half-hour after the excision. Following gross inspection the specimens were classified as of various degrees of atherosclerosis (fibrous plaque, calcified plaque). In some specimens there was both calcified and fibrous plaque.
