The brain is composed of a dense and ramified vascular network of arteries, veins and capillaries of various sizes. One way to assess the risk of cerebrovascular pathologies is to use computational models to predict the physiological effects of reduced blood supply and correlate these responses with observations of brain damage. Therefore, it is crucial to establish a detailed 3D organization of the brain vasculature, which could be used to develop more accurate in silico models.

An adequate supply of oxygen-rich blood is vital to maintain cell homeostasis, cellular metabolism, and overall tissue health. While classical methods of measuring tissue ischemia are often invasive, localized and require skin contact or contrast agents, spectral imaging shows promise as a non-invasive, wide field, and contrast-free approach. We evaluate three novel reflectance-based spectral indices from the 460 - 840 spectral range.

The success rate of bovine in vitro embryo reproduction is low and highly dependent on the oocyte quality. The selection of the oocyte to be fertilized is done by the embryologists' visual examination of oocytes. It is time-consuming, subjective, and inconsistent between specialists in the area.
