Abstract:
1. A medical imaging system comprising: an excitation source configured to emit an excitation light towards an object having a plurality of cells that at least one of emit, reflect, and fluoresce light in response to the excitation light; an optical receptor configured to receive the light from the object; a filter assembly configured to receive the light from the optical receptor and filter the light; an image detector having a field of view (FOV) substantially greater than about a diameter of a human cancer cell and configured to have an analysis resolution less than or equal to about the diameter of the human cancer cell, wherein the image detector is further configured to receive the filtered light from the whole FOV simultaneously at the analysis resolution through the filter and analyze the filtered light corresponding to each cell in the FOV, wherein the light received by the image detector is at least one of substantially unmagnified and not magnified; and a feedback system configured to provide an indication of a cell state and a location in the FOV at the analysis resolution for each cell in the FOV meeting a predetermined condition, wherein the predetermined condition is a threshold light intensity.
