HSI in Action: Real-World Case Studies
Case Study 1: Improving Skin Tumor Detection
- Challenge: Skin tumors often mimic infections or acute injuries, making early and accurate diagnosis difficult. Traditional biopsy-based methods are invasive, time-consuming, and prone to diagnostic inconsistencies due to subjective interpretation.
- Solution: The University Hospital in Oulu adopted the Specim hyperspectral camera, a portable, handheld imaging tool developed by Spectral Imaging Ltd. This device seamlessly integrates with existing dermatology workflows, requiring minimal training for efficient use. It captures real-time spectral data, allowing physicians to differentiate malignant tumors from benign conditions with enhanced accuracy.
Outcomes & Impact:
- Improved diagnostic precision and early tumor detection.
- Faster, non-invasive screening reduced patient discomfort.
- Real-time spectral analysis minimized reliance on subjective interpretation.
Case Study 2: Enhancing Intraoperative Surgical Guidance
- Challenge: Ensuring adequate blood supply to colon conduits is crucial during esophageal replacement procedures.. Inadequate perfusion can lead to severe complications, including anastomotic leaks and colon necrosis.
- Solution: University Hospital Leipzig deployed the TIVITA® Tissue System, an HSI-based imaging solution developed by Diaspective Vision GmbH. This tool non-invasively assesses tissue oxygenation, hemoglobin levels, and blood perfusion, enabling surgeons to make precise, data-driven intraoperative decisions.
Outcomes & Impact:
- Reduced risk of ischemic complications during colon conduit reconstruction.
- Improved patient recovery rates with enhanced surgical decision-making.
- Lowered postoperative mortality rates through real-time perfusion assessment.
