    Abstract: A light source configured for fluorescence diagnosis comprises a first semiconductor-illuminant based light emission unit configured to emit first light in a broadband first wavelength spectrum, a second semiconductor-illuminant based light emission unit configured to emit second light in a narrowband second wavelength spectrum for excitation of fluorescence, a spectral filter for the first light emission unit that is configured to block spectral components of the first wavelength spectrum which are assigned to a color channel of a camera the fluorescence is to be detected with, and to transmit remaining spectral components of the first wavelength spectrum, a brightness control for the first light emission unit configured to dim the intensity of the emitted first light, and an optical intensity attenuator for the first light emission unit that is configured to reduce the intensity of the emitted first light below the minimum intensity obtainable through the brightness control without the intensity attenuator.

    Abstract: An optical sensor system for detecting a tissue type in a surgical procedure is described. The optical sensor system includes an excitation source configured to selectively emit excitation light, a probe comprising at least one fiber coupled to the excitation source and configured to illuminate target tissue with excitation light and collect light from target tissue, a compliance member coupled to the at least one fiber, the compliance member being at least partially translucent and configured to deform in response to engagement by a surgical tool, an indicator element configured to emit light in response to receiving an indicator signal, an optical detection module coupled to the at least one fiber and configured to generate a signal based on the collected light, and a controller configured to determine a tissue characteristic based on the signal and generate the indicator signal based on the determined tissue characteristic.

    Abstract: Disclosed techniques include image analysis using skin wound factors. One or more skin wound images are obtained for an individual. The skin wound images provide light spectrum information that includes fluorescence and reflectance characteristics. The light spectrum information includes infrared thermal characteristics. Processors are used to analyze the skin wound images to determine metrics for skin wound factors, based on the light spectrum information. The skin wound factors comprise infection, inflammation, granulation, topology, and epithelialization. An epithelialization metric is included in determining skin wound topology. The skin wound topology comprises wound area, wound volume, wound depth, wound shape, wound edge definition, or wound topography. An output indicative of biophysical skin wound status is generated. The output is based on the analyzing of the skin wound factors. The output is augmented, based on analysis of the infrared thermal characteristics. A skin wound care plan is developed, based on the output.
