Some systems can very accurately distinguish between cancerous and non-cancerous tissue, and some can even identify non-cancerous sites with 100% accuracy. However, there are some problems with these technologies. For example, more large clinical trials are needed to verify the effect. In addition, there are difficulties in bringing these systems into everyday medicine. Some systems work well in experiments, but in real life they need to be improved, such as being smaller and more portable, and being able to process data in real time. Complex equipment and high prices may also affect their popularity in hospitals. Next research could focus on making these systems smaller and more usable. If the equipment is cheap, convenient, and can be used in different hospitals, there is more opportunity to promote it. And do more tests in different populations to make sure they work for all kinds of patients. In addition, we can try to combine these imaging technologies with artificial intelligence, so that machines can help judge, improve accuracy, and automatically analyze images. In the clinic, a uniform use process should also be developed so that different hospitals can have consistent and reliable results.
