Automatic multi-spectral tissue analysis during surgery

During surgery, it is hard to differentiate the various tissue types and the clinician has to trust on his own experience and knowledge. We plan to develop a new automatic tissue differentiation tool based on multispectral imaging to analyse non-visible tissue properties during surgery in order to present the clinician additional information about the tissue augmented into the view of a microscope/endoscope. This will reduce the risk of patient damage and thereby speed up surgeries.
