[Fluorescence spectrum analysis system for protoporphyrin IX in serum based on wavelet transform].

Protoporphyrin IX is an important kind of organic compound for vital movement, and can be used as the sign of tumour blood. Human protoporphyrin IX content in serum is very low, and affected by various factors. The serum fluorescence spectrum analysis system based on wavelet transform was used to discriminated the protoporphyrin IX weak signals. The protoporphyrin IX fluorescence spectrum was obtained by a multi-function spectrum measuring system, and decomposed several times by wavelet transform to distinguish the noise and spectrum signals. The fluorescence spectrum can be divided into corresponding discrete approximations signals (a1-a6) and discrete details signals (d1-d6) by six times of decomposition, showing the signal frequency decreasing with decomposition times increasing and the protoporphyrin IX fluorescence character peak appears here. The weak signals were discriminated and the exactly component and quantity can be acquired for further analysis. So it can be analysed quantitatively. The researches in the present paper provide the potential application in the diagnosis of incipient tumous using the serum fluorescence spectrum
