Hyperspectral Imaging May Enable Earlier Detection of GI Cancers

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
A hyperspectral imaging technique uses a set of camera filters with a standard endoscopy system to increase the number of colors that can be seen during endoscopy and potentially improve the ability to detect abnormal cells in the lining of the gut. Researcher Sarah Bohndiek from the University of Cambridge explains the new technique. "In traditional endoscopy, we use white light and detectors that replicate our eyes, which detect light in red, green and blue color channels. We are now developing an approach called 'hyperspectral imaging,' which will increase the number of color...Read full article

    hyperspectral imaging
    Hyperspectral imaging is an advanced imaging technique that captures and processes information from across the electromagnetic spectrum. Unlike traditional imaging systems that record only a few spectral bands (such as red, green, and blue in visible light), hyperspectral imaging collects data in numerous contiguous bands, covering a wide range of wavelengths. This extended spectral coverage enables detailed analysis and characterization of materials based on their spectral signatures. Key...
