Abstract
Optical imaging is a non-invasive technique that is able to monitor hemodynamic and metabolic responses during neurosurgery. However, a robust quantification is complicated to perform. To overcome this issue, phantoms that mimic biological tissues are required for the development of imaging systems in order to reach a true standardization. In this work, we explore the possibility to use a combined liquid blood phantom with cytochrome contained yeast to evaluate the reliability of hyperspectral imaging to measure oxygenation and metabolic changes. This phantom can be used to verify the reliability of intraoperative optical setups before moving on to clinical application.
