摘要:
System and method for detecting and monitoring edema in a patient are described. Initially, a patient's tissue is irradiated with light by a light source. A detector collects reflected light from the patient's tissue and generates data associated with the reflected light. A processing device receives the data and reflected light and calculates an intensity of the reflected light. The processing device then determined, based upon the intensity of the reflected light, whether the patient's tissue exhibits any symptoms of edema. Additionally, the processing device can compare a current intensity of the reflected light against historic information to monitor for any changes in a patient's edema level or severity.

This disclosure is directed to systems and methods for fusing Raman data with biomarker data to identify a disease and/or the progression of the disease. The system disclosed herein may include an illumination source for generating interacted photons from a biological sample and a detector for detecting the interacted photons to generate a Raman data set. A processor is included to fuse the Raman data set with a biomarker data set to identify a disease and/or a disease progression. The instant disclosure further includes a method comprising illuminating a biological sample to generate interacted photons, and detecting the interacted photons to generate a Raman data set. A biomarker data set is obtained from the biological sample, and the Raman data set is fused with the biomarker data set to generate an index score. The index score correlates with one or more of a disease and a disease progression.

A method for analyzing organ samples using hyperspectral imaging comprising illuminating an organ sample to generate interacted photons, collecting the interacted photons and passing the interacted photons through a tunable filter. The filtered interacted photons are detected to generate a hyperspectral image. A brightfield image is generated and associated with the hyperspectral image. Spectra from locations of interest are extracted and analyzed to assess a characteristic of the organ sample. A system may comprise an illumination source to illuminate an organ sample and generate interacted photons, a collection optics for collecting the interacted photons and a tunable filter to filter the interacted photons. A detector is configured to detect the filtered photons and generate at least one hyperspectral image. The detector may also be configured to generate at least one brightfield image representative of the organ sample.
