SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING FLUORESCENT LIGHT IMAGE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide determination the concentration of fluorescent molecules in a tissue or images indicative of the concentration of the fluorescent molecules in real time.

SOLUTION: An imaging system 10 divides image pixels intensities by exposure time to generate image data in units of intensity per time. The imaging system 10 divides a fluorescent light image in intensity per time units by an excitation light image in intensity per time units to provide a quantitative corrected fluorescent light image that is generally invariant to position of an imaging instrument relative to a biological tissue being imaged. Moreover, the imaging system 10 combinates the fluorescent light image in intensity per time units with an attenuation-compensated distance value.
