Abstract
This study explores the development of a multimodal imaging system for disease assessment. Various experiments were conducted to evaluate performance in terms of power density, illumination uniformity, and fluorescence emission properties, comparing the handheld setup to the benchtop system. Test samples included phantom gels and oral cancer samples. Preliminary results indicate that the compact LED ring illuminator provided sufficient power for detectable emission signals and improved emission distribution due to sample scattering. The presentation also discusses solutions for achieving a more uniform illumination field and provides insights into imaging in oral epithelial neoplasia with the compact widefield system, along with considerations for translating from a benchtop test system to a compact handheld multimodal system.
