The multispectral imaging system Nuance based on liquid crystal tunable filters was adapted for diffuse reflectance and fluorescence spectral imaging of in vivo skin. Uniform illumination was achieved by LED ring light. Combination of four LEDs (warm white, 770 nm, 830 nm and 890 nm) was used to support diffuse reflectance mode in spectral range 450-950 nm. 405 nm LEDs were used for excitation of skin autofluorescence. Multispectral imaging system was adapted for spectral working range of 450-950 nm with scanning step of 10 nm and spectral resolution of 15 nm. An average field of view was 50x35 mm in size with spatial resolution 0,05 mm (the pixel size). Due to spectrally different illumination intensity and system sensitivity, various exposure times (from 7…500 ms) were used for each image acquisition. The proposed approach was tested for different skin lesions: benign nevus, hemangioma, basalioma and halo nevus. Spectral image cubes of different skin lesions were acquired and analyzed to test its diagnostic potential. |
