Intraoperative EXamination Using MAChine-learning-based HYperspectral for diagNosis & Autonomous Anatomy Assessment

The intraoperative recognition of target structures, which need to be preserved or selectively removed, is of paramount importance during surgical procedures. This task relies mainly on the anatomical knowledge and experience of the operator. Misperception of the anatomy can have devastating consequences. Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) represents a promising technology that is able to perform a real-time optical scanning over a large area, providing both spatial and spectral information. HSI is an already established method of objectively classifying image information in a number of scientific fields (e.g. remote sensing). Our group recently employed HSI as intraoperative tool in the porcine model to quantify perfusion of the organs of the gastrointestinal tract against robust biological markers. Results showed that this technology is able to quantify bowel blood supply with a high degree of precision. Hyperspectral signatures have been successfully used, coupled to machine learning algorithms, to discriminate fine anatomical structures such as nerves or ureters intraoperatively (unpublished data). The i-EX-MACHYNA3 study aims at translating the HSI technology in combination with several deep learning algorithms to differentiate among different classes of human tissues (including key anatomical structures such as BD, nerves and ureters).
