Publication number: 20230125377Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for label-free, real-time hyperspectral imaging (HSI) endoscopy for molecular-guided surgery of cancers without the need for an exogenous contrast agent. One device is a high-speed image mapping spectrometer integrated with a white-light reflectance fiberoptic bronchoscope. The imaging system has a parallel acquisition instrument that captures a hyperspectral datacube that may be pre-processed and features extracted and a discriminative feature set is selected and used for the classification of cancer and benign tissue. An algorithm that enables fast and accurate tissue classification may also be applied that utilizes a supervised deep-learning-based framework that is trained with the clinically visible tumor and benign tissue during surgery and then applied to identify the residual tumor.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2022Publication date: April 27, 2023Applicants: THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BOARD OF REGENTS, THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS SYSTEMInventors: Liang Gao, Baowei Fei
