Abstract
An optical sensor system for detecting a tissue type in a surgical procedure is described. The optical sensor system includes an excitation source configured to selectively emit excitation light, a probe comprising at least one fiber coupled to the excitation source and configured to illuminate target tissue with excitation light and collect light from target tissue, a compliance member coupled to the at least one fiber, the compliance member being at least partially translucent and configured to deform in response to engagement by a surgical tool, an indicator element configured to emit light in response to receiving an indicator signal, an optical detection module coupled to the at least one fiber and configured to generate a signal based on the collected light, and a controller configured to determine a tissue characteristic based on the signal and generate the indicator signal based on the determined tissue characteristic.
