Claim One:
1. A system for obtaining at least one threshold for the discrimination among different tissue types, the system comprising: an optical probe arranged for obtaining light measurements at one or more positions in a tissue of a first type; and a console arranged for spectrally analyzing the light measurements and defining data points in a score plot of a multivariate statistical analysis to form a first tissue type class on the basis of predetermined spectral characteristics derived from fits in the light measurements, wherein the console is arranged for defining a first threshold for the cloud of data points belonging to this first tissue type class by using spectral characteristics of reference tissue, wherein the optical probe is further arranged for obtaining further light measurements at further positions in the tissue; and wherein the console is further arranged for testing whether the predetermined spectral characteristics of the further light measurements fall outside the first threshold in said score plot and if this is the case defining a second tissue type class on the basis of the further light measurements.
