Integrated imaging apparatus
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for evaluating a biological system or stimulus comprising the steps of:
- integrating spatial, spectral and temporal features, and optionally physiologic data, with a spectral and temporal multimodal imaging system;
fusing a thermal image or other imaging modalities with said multimodal imaging system;
registering multiple images acquired at various wavelengths and at different times in a hyperspectral cube so that each corresponding pixel in every plane images the same point in space; and
incorporating a high spatial and temporal resolution imaging device as a reference in which each spectral image in the cube is registered to evaluate said biological system or stimulus.
