Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for diagnosing disease. In some aspects, an imaging system is provided that includes a light source configured to illuminate a retina of the eye with light, one or more imaging devices configured to receive light returned from the retina to generate one or more spatial-spectral images of the retina, and a computing device configured to receive the one or more spatial-spectral images of the retina, evaluate the one or more spatial-spectral images, and identify one or more biomarkers indicative of a neurogenerative pathology.

Abstract: A non-invasive device for detecting Alzheimer's Disease-associated pathologies, comprising a fundus camera comprising a spectral reflectance imaging unit that includes a broadband light source and a light sensor and a lens assembly to focus light from the broadband light source onto a fundus of an eye, and one or more processors to detect reflected and/or backscattered light from the eye, illuminated by the broadband light source, using the light sensor for determining spectral reflectance information, generate a plurality of spectral reflectance maps comprising counts of reflected and/or backscattered light at a different wavelength or a different range of wavelengths, assign a weight to each of the spectral reflectance maps, and determine one or more regions of interest from the weighted spectral reflectance maps as being a potential Alzheimer's Disease-associated pathology based on a detection of one or more biomarkers indicative of Tauopathy.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to systems and methods for evaluating markers of disease by using optical techniques A method includes analyzing data from an imaging of an eye of a patient with at least one processor, the data from the imaging including a plurality of pixels and including, for each pixel, spatial, spectral, and polarimetric data generated from the imaging of the eye. The method further includes based on the analyzing, classifying the patient into at least one category of a plurality of categories, each category of the plurality of categories indicating a status with respect to a neurodegenerative disease that affects a central nervous system. The method further includes generating an output of one or more of the at least one category indicating the status of the patient with respect to the neurodegenerative disease that affects a central nervous system.

Abstract: A method includes receiving, by one or more processors, operating characteristics at which a spectral sensor was configured while the spectral sensor captured a multi-dimensional spectral data package of a target object. The method, also, includes identifying, by the one or more processors, one or more artifacts caused by the operating characteristics at which the spectral sensor was configured while the spectral sensor captured the multi-dimensional spectral data package of the target object, and generating, by the one or more processors, a calibrated multi-dimensional spectral data package of the target object by removing the one or more artifacts from the multi-dimensional spectral data package of the target object.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to an imaging system and methods of use thereof. The system can include a light source configured to emit light to illuminate a retina of an eye with the light. The system can include one or more imaging devices configured to receive light from the retina via one or more polarizers to generate one or more spectropolarimetric images of the retina. The system can include a computing device configured to receive the one or more spectropolarimetric images of the retina, evaluate the one or more spectropolarimetric images, and identify one or more biomarkers indicative of a pathology.

Abstract: A phantom eye includes a curved reflectance standard having a light-receiving surface configured to be illuminated by light and one or more ocular media components positioned such that the light passes through the one or more ocular media components prior to illuminating the light-receiving surface of the curved reflectance standard. The curved reflectance standard mimics an optical property of a retina of a biological eye. The one or more ocular media components mimic an optical property of the biological eye.
