speaker details

Isabelle works as a postdoctoral associate at the University of Cambridge, her research mainly focuses on hyperspectral endoscopic imaging, with the aim of improving the early detection of oesophageal and gastric cancers. She got her bachelor degree in physics at McGill University, the master degree at the University of Toronto  in quantum optics and further obtained her PhD in Optics and Neuroscience at Aix-Marseille Université.

Abstract:

Detecting oesophageal cancer early leads to significantly better patient outcomes. Patients with conditions associated with higher cancer risk therefore undergo regular surveillance endoscopies, yet due to low contrast in white light imaging, standard of care endoscopies suffer from low detection rates. Hyperspectral imaging is a new frontier in medical physics that collects both spatial and spectral information from a sample and has shown potential to increase contrast between healthy and diseased tissue. We developed a system enabling flexible illumination-based hyperspectral imaging, designed…
