    Area of Science:

    • Medical imaging
    • Biomedical engineering
    • Computational pathology

    Background:

    • Accurate cancer detection and boundary delineation are critical for effective treatment planning.
    • Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) offers rich spectral information but requires sophisticated algorithms for tissue classification.
    • Distinguishing cancerous from healthy tissue in HSI requires integrating both spectral and spatial data.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop an automated classification method for distinguishing cancerous from healthy tissue using hyperspectral images.
    • To combine spectral and spatial information for enhanced tissue classification in an animal model.
    • To validate the accuracy of the proposed method in determining tumor boundaries.

    Main Methods:

    • An automated algorithm combining minimum spanning forest (MSF) and optimal band selection was developed.
    • A support vector machine (SVM) classifier generated pixel-wise classification probability maps.
    • Mutual information was computed for band selection, followed by MSF segmentation using spatial and spectral data.

    Main Results:

    • The MSF-based method with automatically selected bands accurately determined tumor boundaries in hyperspectral images.
    • The classification probability map effectively differentiated between cancerous and healthy tissue.
    • The integration of spectral and spatial information improved classification accuracy.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed MSF-based classification method is accurate for tumor boundary determination in hyperspectral images.
    • Hyperspectral imaging combined with this classification technique shows potential as a noninvasive cancer detection tool.
    • This approach could advance noninvasive diagnostic capabilities in oncology.
