    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a method and system that allows parameters of a desired target image to be determined from hyperspectral imagery of scene. The parameters may be representative of various aspects of the scene being imaged, particularly representative of physical properties of the scene. For example, in some medical imaging contexts, the property being imaged may be blood perfusion or oxygenation saturation level information per pixel. In one embodiment the parameters are obtained by collecting lower temporal and spatial resolution hyperspectral imagery, and then building a virtual hypercube of the information having a higher spatial resolution using a spatiospectral aware demosaicking process, the virtual hypercube then being used for estimation of the desired parameters at the higher spatial resolution. Alternatively, in another embodiment, instead of building the virtual hypercube and then performing the estimation, a joint demosaicking and parameter estimation operation is performed to obtain the parameters. Various white level and spectral calibration operations may also be performed to improve the results obtained. While establishing functional and technical requirements of an intraoperative system for surgery, we present iHSI system embodiments that allows for real-time wide-field HSI and responsive surgical guidance in a highly constrained operating theatre. Two exemplar embodiments exploiting state-of-the-art industrial HSI cameras, respectively using linescan and snapshot imaging technology, were investigated by performing assessments against established design criteria and ex vivo tissue experiments. We further report the use of one real-time iHSI embodiment during an ethically-approved in-patient clinical feasibility case study as part of a spinal fusion surgery therefore successfully validating our assumptions that our invention can be seamlessly integrated into the operating theatre without interrupting the surgical workflow.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for the molecular atomic analysis of a fluid in the gaseous state wherein, in particular, the method comprises introducing (901) a fluid in the gaseous state into a collection chamber (12) having a predetermined internal volume V and generating (902) a laser beam through a laser device (11). The method further comprises focusing (903) such beam onto the fluid sited in the collection chamber (12), in order to create an electric field in at least a portion V' of the internal volume V, such as to excite the electrons residing on the atoms and molecules present in said fluid in the gaseous state, whose binding energy is between about 1 eV and about 10 eV, causing an atomic /molecular alteration of the fluid itself in said portion V'. The method provides detecting (904) the elements emitted after focusing the beam on said fluid, through detection means (17, 18) and analysing (905) the elements detected by the detection means (17, 18) using a processing unit (20). According to the method of the invention, the generation of a laser beam comprises varying (906) at least once the frequency of the beam emitted. According to the method, the processing unit (20) is configured to operate said variation (906) of the frequency of the laser beam emitted by the laser device (11), based on the pressure conditions of the fluid sited in the collection chamber (12).

    Abstract: A stimulated Raman scattering spectrometer for real-time, high- resolution molecular analysis of gases is based on two hollow-core fibres (420, 450) illuminated by a single high-power, short-pulse laser pump. The first fibre (420) is prefilled with high-concentration target gases. Interaction of each target gas inside the first fibre (420), with the laser pump, generates Raman signals corresponding to the target gases. The combined beam of the Raman signals and the pump laser beam is directed into the second fibre (450) containing the measured target gases. Interaction of each target gas with the combined beam generates the Stimulated Raman Growth, i.e., amplification of the Raman signal, which is proportional to the corresponding target gas concentration. A receiver subsystem (30) receives the beam from the second fibre (450), spectrally separates it to wavelengths corresponding to each target gas, extracts the Stimulated Raman Growth value corresponding to each target gas and calculates the concentration of each target gas.
