Abstract
Pediatric brain tumors are the second most common type of cancer, accounting for one in four childhood cancer types. Brain tumor resection surgery remains the most common treatment option for brain cancer. While assessing tumor margins intraoperatively, surgeons must send tissue samples for biopsy, which can be time-consuming and not always accurate or helpful. Snapshot hyperspectral imaging (sHSI) cameras can capture scenes beyond the human visual spectrum and provide real-time guidance where we aim to segment healthy brain tissues from lesions on pediatric patients undergoing brain tumor resection. With the institutional research board approval, Pro00011028, 139 red-green-blue (RGB), 279 visible, and 85 infrared sHSI data were collected from four subjects with the system integrated into an operating microscope. A random forest classifier was used for data analysis. The RGB, infrared sHSI, and visible sHSI models achieved average intersection of unions (IoUs) of 0.76, 0.59, and 0.57, respectively, while the tumor segmentation achieved a specificity of 0.996, followed by the infrared HSI and visible HSI models at 0.93 and 0.91, respectively. Despite the small dataset considering pediatric cases, our research leveraged sHSI technology and successfully segmented healthy brain tissues from lesions with a high specificity during pediatric brain tumor resection procedures.
