Abstract

PURPOSE: This work presents a novel multimodal imaging platform that integrates hyperspectral imaging (HSI) and probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) for improved brain tumor identification during neurosurgery. By combining these two modalities, we aim to enhance surgical navigation, addressing the limitations of using each modality when used independently.
