Résumé

Intraoperative identification of cancerous tissue is fundamental during oncological surgical or endoscopic procedures. This relies on visual assessment supported by histopathological evaluation, implying a longer operative time. Hyperspectral imaging (HSI), a contrast-free and contactless imaging technology, provides spatially resolved spectroscopic analysis, with the potential to differentiate tissue at a cellular level. However, HSI produces "big data", which is impossible to directly interpret by clinicians. We hypothesize that advanced machine learning algorithms (convolutional neural networks-CNNs) can accurately detect colorectal cancer in HSI data.
