Hyperspectral Imaging Reduces Threat of Amputation

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) can help surgeons make quick decisions in the operating room, as it detects issues not visible to the naked eye. Dallas surgeon Javier La Fontaine, Ph.D., associate professor of plastic surgery at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, explained to a MOEMS-MEMS symposium audience at the recent Photonics West 2014 conference that using this imaging technique can reduce the threat of amputation. “It has saved some patients time spent in returns to the operating room,” he said. “It lets us more comfortably address the...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...
