We have made significant progress in imaging nerves using polarized light sensing at different wavelengths. Starting in the visible spectral range and using raw or frozen chicken and now progressing to human cadaver nerve imaging, we have developed new methodologies of image processing to highlight the nerves to stand out from the surrounding tissues. We propose to expand our project to include a FIH (First in Human) surgical study which will present new data science challenges with image motion, and also to push into the near infrared for better tissue penetration, and to develop an endoscopic version of our technology.
