Interventional Nerve Visualization via the Intrinsic Anisotropic Optical Properties of the Nerves

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We present an optical concept to visualize nerves during surgical interventions. The concept relies on the anisotropic optical properties of the nerves which allows for specific switching of the optical reflection by the nervous tissue. Using a low magnification polarized imaging system we are able to visualize the on and off switching of the optical reflection of the nervous tissue, enabling a non-invasive nerve specific real-time nerve visualization during surgery.
