Patent Images
1. A medical instrument, comprising:
- a first-stage optic responsive to illumination of a tissue surface of a patient,a spectral separator optically responsive to the first stage optic and having a control input,an imaging sensor optically responsive to the spectral separator and having an image data output,a diagnostic processor having an image acquisition interface with an input responsive to the imaging sensor; and
a filter control interface having a control output provided to the control input of the spectral separator, which directs the spectral separator to receive wavelengths from the tissue surface that provide multispectral or hyperspectral information as determined by a set of instructions from a first diagnostic protocol module.
