Compressive Spectral Imaging Microscopy for Cancer Detection (COSMIC)

We developed a novel spectral microscopy imaging method that opens the path towards automated cancer detection in biopsies. By using the advanced compressive sensing framework, we are able to capture spectral images with unprecedented resolution and speed. We tested the performance of our compressive hyperspectral imaging system for histopathology of cancer cells and have been able to demonstrate unprecedented high detection accuracy. Our method is based on a commercial microscope, it is modular and versatile, and can be used for other applications that require rapid acquisition of high quality spectral images.
