Abstract
A fluorescence or luminescence scanner and a method for generating 3D fluorescence or luminescence scans are disclosed. The scanner records a fluorescence and/or luminescence image and an optical image of the body to be examined. A pattern, such as a pattern of stripes or some other geometric pattern, is projected at a first angle onto the body to be examined. As a function of the geometric angles, based on the patterns recorded, 3D location information of each surface point of the scanned body is calculated. Both an optical image and a 3D fluorescence and/or luminescence image are obtained. The mutually superimposed (fused) images can be displayed in the form of a 3D fluorescence or luminescence scan.
