Near-real-time Mueller polarimetric image processing for neurosurgical intervention

Conclusion:The end-to-end image processing achieved real-time performance for a localised field of view (\(\approx 6.5\ \text {mm}^2\)). The denoised polarimetric intensities produced visibly clear directional patterns of neuronal fibre tracts in line with reference polarimetric image quality standards; directional disruption was kept in case of neoplastic lesions. The presented advances pave the way towards feasible oncological neurosurgical translations of novel, label-free, interventional feedback.
