“…Furthermore, the technology can be implemented into flexible endoscopes in order to allow a so-called optical biopsy [ 5 ], rigid endoscopes to assist the surgeons during minimal invasive procedures [ 6 ] as well as microscopes to analyze resected tissues [ 7 ]. In several research areas, HSI has shown its great potential to discriminate between several tissue structures by analyzing the tissue–light interactions, measured as specific spectral signatures, allowing tissue perfusion assessment [ 8 , 9 ] and tissue differentiation [ 10 , 11 ]. HSI has been successfully evaluated to detect skin cancer [ 12 , 13 , 14 ], gastric cancer [ 15 ], oral cancer [ 16 ], breast cancer [ 17 ], brain cancer [ 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ], head and neck cancer [ 23 ], as well as colorectal cancer [ 24 ] in humans.…”
