Abstract

SIGNIFICANCE: Developing algorithms for estimating blood oxygenation from snapshot multispectral imaging (MSI) data is challenging due to the complexity of sensor characteristics and photon transport modeling in tissue. We circumvent this using a method where artificial neural networks (ANNs) are trained on in vivo MSI data with target values from a point-measuring reference method.
