Abstract

Histopathology remains the gold standard for definitive tumor diagnosis after surgical resection; however, its lengthy processing time can delay critical postoperative care. Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is emerging as a promising label-free technique for rapid biochemical tissue assessment. Here, we present HyperProbe1.1 (HP1.1), an HSI system designed for noninvasive analysis of fresh brain tumor…
