    Abstract: This invention pertains to a fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM)-based method for the quantitative three-dimensional (3D) imaging of the metabolic status of a lesion, including the acquisition of FLIM data of a least one anaerobic glycolysis marker. This method applies in particular to lesions such as wounds and tumours, and to markers such as the NADH/NAD+ ratio, the NAD(P)H/NAD+ ratio, the NADH/FAD ratio, the NAD(P)H/FAD ratio or the FADH/FAD ratio as a first marker, and their optional combination with a second marker such as pH, oxygen tension, glucose, pyruvate and lactate.
