Hyperspectral imaging maps hemoglobin saturation at the microvessel level
December 29th, 2005
Hyperspectral imaging maps hemoglobin saturation at the microvessel level. According to recent research from the United States, "tumor hypoxia has been shown to have prognostic value in clinical trials involving radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery. Tumor oxygenation studies at microvascular levels can provide understanding of oxygen transport on scales at which oxygen transfer to tissue occurs." "To fully grasp the significance of blood oxygen delivery and hypoxia at microvascular levels during tumor growth and angiogenesis, the spatial and temporal relationship of the data must be preserved and mapped. Using tumors grown in window chamber models,...
