Towards reliable hyperspectral imaging biomarkers of CT26 murine tumor model.

ABSTRACT: The non-invasive monitoring of tumor growth can offer invaluable diagnostic insights and enhance our understanding of tumors and their microenvironment. Integrating hyperspectral imaging (HSI) with three-dimensional optical profilometry (3D OP) makes contactless and non-invasive tumor diagnosis possible by utilizing the inherent tissue contrast provided by visible (VIS) and near-infrared (NIR) light. Consequently, valuable information regarding tumors and healthy tissues can be extracted from the acquired hyperspectral images. Until now, very few methods have been used to monitor tumor models in vivo daily and non-invasively. In this research, we conducted a 14-day study monitoring BALB/c mice with subcutaneously grown CT26 murine colon carcinomas in vivo, commencing on the d
