Abstract
An apparatus for spectroscopic tissue analysis is disclosed. The apparatus comprises: a light delivery system configured to direct an excitation signal on to a tissue sample; a light collection system configured to collect a backscattered signal comprising diffuse reflectance photons backscattered by the tissue sample; an imaging device; a spectrometer; an optical adaptor configured to direct a first portion of the backscattered signal to the imaging device and a second portion of the backscattered signal to the spectrometer; and an analysis system configured to apply polar decomposition to spectral image data of the tissue captured by the imaging device and the spectrometer and thereby derive polarization metrics for the tissue sample.
