Abstract
Apparatus and methods for hyperspectral imaging analysis that assists in real and near-real time assessment of biological tissue condition, viability, and type, and monitoring the above overtime. Embodiments of the invention are particularly useful in surgery, clinical procedures, tissue assessment, diagnostic procedures, health monitoring, and medical evaluations, especially in the detection and treatment of cancer.
Claims12
A method for displaying information about an in vivo tissue in a region of interest of a subject, the method comprising:
- co-registering corresponding pixels in each image in a plurality of images of the region of interest, each respective image in the plurality of images corresponding to radiation emitted at a particular spectral band in a plurality of different spectral bands;
- deriving a coefficient for oxyhemoglobin and a coefficient for deoxyhemoglobin from each set of co-registered pixels in the plurality of images;
- generating, based on the plurality of images, a two-dimensional index characterizing a particular characteristic of the in vivo tissue;
- and
- displaying the coefficient for oxyhemoglobin and the coefficient for deoxyhemoglobin from at least one set of co-registered pixels in the plurality of images independently with the two-dimensional index.
