Title:

“Minimally invasive lens less multicore fiber endoscopy using 3D-printed holograms and deep learning for biomedicine”

Abstract:

Light has the potential to recognize the origins of diseases, enabling to prevent them, or to cure them early and gently. The early diagnosis is the key to improve the survival rate and cure rate of patients. However, conventional biopsy often takes several hours to a few days for the surgeon to know the results of the diagnosis. Optical histopathology offers real-time intraoperative diagnosis without tissue removal. Novel optical engineering approaches for minimally invasive fiber endoscopy using fluorescence light are presented.

The paradigm-shift of lens less multicore fiber endoscopy is based on deep neural networks and wavefront shaping with femtosecond laser-based 3D printed holograms. The well-trained resolution enhancement network helps improving tumor recognition rate. It is promising for minimally invasive intraoperative diagnostics of cancer in neurosurgery.
