Hypervision and imec Collaborate on Hyperspectral Imaging for Surgery





Hypervision, a spin-out company from King’s College London that aims to advance computer-assisted tissue analysis for improved surgical precision and patient safety, has signed a strategic development agreement with imec. The collaboration targets the co-development of scalable technologies tailored for surgical applications, as the company works to scale its on-chip hyperspectral imaging and real-time AI analytics.

Hypervision's technology delivers tissue-level insights, including on oxygenation, perfusion, and tissue differentiation. Its regulatory-cleared intraoperative imaging platform combines on-chip hyperspectral imaging with real-time AI analytics operating at over 60 fps. Additionally, the technology is designed to integrate into existing surgical vision platforms and workflows. The company's platform is currently under clinical evaluation in U.K. hospitals, with a primary focus on gastrointestinal surgery.

Though hyperspectral imaging is already used in medical applications, previous hyperspectral systems have struggled with integration due to hardware complexity, slow processing speeds, and poor compatibility with surgical workflows. These bottlenecks can restrict the use of these system to research settings or post-operative analysis.

As part of the collaboration, imec is leveraging its expertise in semiconductor fabrication, equipment, and process technology to develop on-chip spectral imaging and to design and manufacture interference-based optical filters at the wafer level. imec's CMOS infrastructure provides compact, clean, and high-yield optical filter integration with scalability to high-volume production at low cost.

Abrisa Technologies Acquires Agama Glass Technologies

SANTA PAULA, Calif. — Abrisa Technologies, a provider of custom glass optics and thin film coatings and a subsidiary of HEF Photonics, has acquired Agama Glass Technologies, a manufacturer of etched anti-glare glass and technical glass processing. The acquisition, Abrisa said, expands its manufacturing footprint and adds a vertically integrated solution for chemically etched anti-glare display glass. According to Abrisa, Clarksburg, West Virginia-based Agama operates North America’s only high-volume technical glass etching facility. Agama's flagship product, AgamaEtch, is used in high-performance display and optics applications. The company's 85,000 sq ft facility also offers precision glass fabrication, chemical strengthening, and silk-screen printing, serving markets such as avionics, defense, medical, industrial, and touchscreen displays. Combined with Abrisa Technologies’ and HEF Photonics’ thin-film coating and surface engineering capabilities, Agama's offerings wi...

How Biophotonics Is Harnessing Light for Health And Science

Fifty or so years ago French physicist Pierre Aigrain coined the term photonics as a research field whose goal was to use light to perform functions that traditionally fell within the typical domain of electronics, such as telecommunications, and information processing. Or maybe it was John Campbell who, in a letter sent to Gotthard Gunther in 1954, wrote, “Incidentally, I’ve decided to invent a new science — photonics. It bears the same relationship to Optics that electronics does to electrical engineering. Photonics, like electronics, will deal with the individual units; optics and EE deal with the group phenomena! And note that you can do things with electronics that are impossible in electrical engineering!” Naming rights aside, the field of photonics began in earnest between 1958 and 1960 with the invention of the maser and the laser. The laser diode followed during the 1970s, optical fibers and the erbium-doped fiber amplifier after that, and, pretty soon, the telecommunications...

Laser Method Enables Fast & Precise Blood Vessels in Hydrogel

Researchers from Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) and Keio University have found a way to create artificial blood vessels in miniature organ models in a quick and reproducible manner. The method utilizes ultrashort laser pulses in the femtosecond range to write highly 3D structures into a hydrogel. In biomedical research, organs-on-a-chip are becoming increasingly important: By cultivating tissue structures in precisely controlled microfluidic chips, it is possible to conduct research much more accurately than in experiments involving living humans or animals. However, there has been a major obstacle: such mini-organs are incomplete without blood vessels. To facilitate systematic studies and ensure meaningful comparisons with living organisms, a network of perfusable blood vessels and capillaries must be created — in a way that is precisely controllable and reproducible. “We can create channels spaced only a hundred micrometers apart. That’s essential when you would like to...
