This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. John Frangioni's lab is developing wide field imaging technology for use in the surgical field that will enable quantitative imaging. Eventually Modulated Imaging will be incorporated into this approach. There can be several centimeters of variation in height of the target tissue over the width of the surgical field. In addition, tissues in the field are likely to have some shape/curvature. In order for imaging to be quantitative, we need to employ correction factors that will essentially """"""""flatten"""""""" the surgical field. This is a series of phantom measurements aimed to develop/validate algorithms needed for correcting curved surfaces observed during in vivo measurements.
