    Abstract: Hyperspectral imaging calibration devices and methods for their use are described that generate images of three dimensional samples. A calibration device may assume the shape of a desired imaging sample such as a body part and may be sterile prior to placement. The calibration device may include openings or may be modified to expose a region of the sample during use. Spectral images, typically obtained at multiple wavelengths, are made of the calibration device. Algorithms are provided that utilize the spectral images of the calibration device to determine the effects of lighting conditions and sample shape on the sample image to form a calibrated image. Calibrated images produced by these devices and methods can provide information, including clinical data that are less sensitive to lighting and sample shape compared to alternative technologies.

    Abstract: A non-invasive analyte monitoring instrument has a radiation source for directing excitation radiation to a portion of a surface of a tissue wherein said source emits radiation at a plurality of different wavelengths that excites a target in said tissue causing said target to emit radiation such that the radiation received at the surface provides an analyte level indication of the patient. A radiation detector positioned to receive radiation emitted from the surface wherein said radiation detector is configured to synchronously scan radiation emitted by the target with the excitation radiation. A processing circuit operatively connected to the radiation detector that translates radiation received at the surface to a measurable signal to obtain said analyte level indication, wherein said radiation source comprises a visible light source or an ultraviolet light source and wherein the target is selected from the group consisting of a structural matrix tissue component, a cellular tissue component, a mitochondrial tissue component, a collagen cross link, a pepsin-digestible collagen cross link, a collagenase-digestible collagen cross link, a non-pepsin digestible collagen cross link, an elastin cross link, a tryptophan-containing protein, NADH, FAD, a flavoprotein, and any combination thereof.

    Abstract: A medical device is provided that comprises: (i) an expandable capsule that can be swallowed by a patient and positioned to a target tissue within the patient, (ii) an endoscope attached to the capsule for obtaining an image of the target tissue at a wavelength of interest, and (iii) a thin tube or wire configured to position the device to the target tissue. The thin tube or wire is expandable. The capsule can be swallowed in stages to position the device at different locations within the gastrointestinal tract. The thin tube or wire can deliver electromagnetic radiation for visualization of the target tissue. The thin tube or wire can provide a passage of a biopsy device for access to the target tissue. In some instances, the capsule comprises a band which rotates around the capsule to clean the capsule. In some instances, the capsule collects multispectral or hyperspectral information.
