Dual-modality optical diagnosis for precise in vivo identification of tumors in neurosurgery
Conclusion: The dual-modality optical point-to-face registration fusion method and system we proposed could provide both biochemical information and structural information. The in vivo experimental results validated that the sensitivity (95.9%) of the fused map was higher than that of either single diagnostic modality (86.1% or 91.7%). Tumor staging was realized through quantitative autofluorescence spectroscopy. The proposed method will be applicable to future intelligent theranostic systems and improve many clinical neurosurgeries.
