Autofluorescence has historically been considered a nuisance in medical imaging. Many endogenous fluorophores, specifically, collagen, elastin, NADH, and FAD, are found throughout the human body. Diagnostically, these signals can be prohibitive since they can outcompete signals introduced for diagnostic purposes. Recent advances in hyperspectral im...

Hyperspectral imaging technologies have shown great promise for biomedical applications. These techniques have been especially useful for detection of molecular events and characterization of cell, tissue, and biomaterial composition. Unfortunately, hyperspectral imaging technologies have been slow to translate to clinical devices - likely due to i...

Little is currently known about the fluorescence excitation spectra of disparate tissues and how these spectra change with pathological state. Current imaging diagnostic techniques have limited capacity to investigate fluorescence excitation spectral characteristics. This study utilized excitation-scanning hyperspectral imaging to perform a compreh...

The EU project SocIoTal research identified the following as main barriers to broad IoT adoption in ‘smart’ cities: (i) lack of understanding by SME’s and City Councils, (ii) lack of third-party trust providers and (iii) lack of involvement of end users in building use cases and developing new services. The project conceived the following measures...

Optical spectroscopy and hyperspectral imaging have shown the potential to discriminate between cancerous and non-cancerous tissue with high sensitivity and specificity. However, to date, these techniques have not been effectively translated to real-time endoscope platforms. Hyperspectral imaging of the fluorescence excitation spectrum represents n...

In this paper the vision and the main objectives of the FP7 SocIoTal project are described together with a description of the initial activities and results in relation to the scenario definition. Contrary to the general approach of creating Internet of Things (IoT) services from a business perspective, the project addresses the design of citizen c...
