    Abstract: A method for determining sub-diffuse scattering parameters of a material includes illuminating the material with structured light and imaging remission by the material of the structured light. The method further includes determining, from captured remission images, sub-diffuse scattering parameters of the material. A structured-light imaging system for determining sub-diffuse scattering parameters of a material includes a structured-light illuminator, for illuminating the material with structured light of periodic spatial structure, and a camera for capturing images of the remission of the structured light by the material. The structured-light imaging system further includes an analysis module for processing the images to quantitatively determine the sub-diffuse scattering parameters. A software product includes machine-readable instructions for analyzing images of remission of structured light by a material to determine sub-diffuse scattering parameters of the material.

    Abstract: A method for guiding resection of local tissue from a patient includes generating at least one image of the patient, automatically determining a plurality of surgical guidance cues indicating three-dimensional spatial properties associated with the local tissue, and generating a visualization of the surgical guidance cues relative to the surface. A system for generating surgical guidance cues for resection of a local tissue from a patient includes a location module for processing at least one image of the patient to determine three-dimensional spatial properties of the local tissue, and a surgical cue generator for generating the surgical guidance cues based upon the three-dimensional spatial properties. A patient-specific locator form for guiding resection of local tissue from a patient includes a locator form surface matching surface of the patient, and a plurality of features indicating a plurality of surgical guidance cues, respectively.

    Abstract: A method of generating corrected fluorescence data of concentrations of a targeted fluorophore in tissue of a subject includes administering first and second fluorescent contrast agents to the subject, the first contrast agent targeted to tissue of interest, the second agent untargeted. The tissue is illuminated with light of a first stimulus wavelength and first data is acquired at an appropriate emissions wavelength; the tissue is illuminated at a second stimulus wavelength and second data is acquired at a second emissions wavelength associated with the second agent, the first and second emissions wavelength differ. Difference data is generated by subtracting the second data from the first data. A system provides for stimulus and capture at multiple wavelengths, with image storage memory and subtraction code, to perform the method. Corrected data may form an fluorescence image, or is used to generate fluorescence tomographic images.

    Abstract: An intraoperative stereovision system has a stereo imager configured to provide stereo images at first and second time (iSV0, iSV(n)) to an image processor configured with a computerized mechanical model of a spinal column, the computerized mechanical model configured to model vertebrae as rigid, displaceable, bodies. The image processor is configured to extract an iSV0 surface model from iSV0 and an iSV(n) surface model from the iSV(n); to register these surfaces, and identify differences therefrom. The image processor is configured to adjust the computerized mechanical model according to the identified differences thereby causing the adjusted computerized mechanical model to track the iSV(n) surface model at each of multiple timepoints.
