Abstract:
Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is an emerging modality for medical applications such as cancer detection & diagnosis, image-guided surgery, and computational & digital pathology. In this talk, hyperspectral imaging technologies and their medical and biological applications will be presented. The webinar will focus on how deep learning methods are applied to HSI and how HSI techniques are developed for image-guided surgery. Promising results from both preclinical and clinical studies will be presented in this talk. Future directions and potential challenges of medical hyperspectral imaging will be discussed. The audience will have an overview of state-of-the-art HSI technology and its specific applications.
