Laparoscopic hyperspectral imaging for in vivo detection of the vagal nerve in upper gastrointestinal surgery
The first application of HSI to detect the vagal nerve during minimally invasive surgery has shown promising classification results for the five tissue classes considered and highlighted the technical challenges for clinical use. Further clinical research is needed to explore the full potential of HSI to improve the reliability of nerve classification during surgery.
