Abstract
An optical imaging method for analyzing an ex vivo tissue sample of a subject is provided. The method includes obtaining the ex vivo tissue sample, preparing the ex vivo tissue sample onto a sample receptacle of an optical imaging system, and emitting excitation light toward the ex vivo tissue sample. The method also includes acquiring imaging data of light emitted by the ex vivo tissue sample in response to the excitation light, analyzing the imaging data to determine whether the ex vivo tissue sample contains pathologic tissue, and generating an output indicating to an operator whether the ex vivo tissue sample contains pathologic tissue.
