    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: Systems and methods generate a 3D model of a surface of an object immersed in a transparent liquid within a stationary cylindrical transparent tank. First and second laser line projectors and a camera are rotated around a central axis of the cylindrical tank. The first and second laser line projectors each generate a laser line perpendicular to a plane or rotation and aligned with the center of rotation. The camera images the object. An image from the camera is captured at each of several angular positions of the camera relative to a reference position of the stationary cylindrical tank. The captured images are processed to determine, for each laser line within each image, a plurality of 3D positions where the laser line is incident upon a surface of the object. In embodiments, images are corrected with ray tracing or image warping and registration functions.

    Abstract: A surgical microscope with a fluorescence excitation illuminator receives fluorescence emissions from a target, the surgical microscope having an optical output port. A tunable filter passes a filtered portion of light from the surgical microscope, the filtered light has wavelengths selected by the tunable filter and is provided to a high-resolution, broad-bandwidth electronic camera. The electronic camera converts light from the tunable filter to electrical signals. A processor processes the electrical signals to form an image of the target including estimated fluorophore depth, the image corrected for optical absorption and scattering parameters of the target. The processor also performs deformation modeling of the target to track tumor position changes during surgery. Embodiments track surface changes of the target using stereo cameras to support the deformation modeling, some images may include information from preoperative CT or MRI, and some images may map biomarkers like HbO2 and DexoHb.
