Spatial and Spectral Reconstruction of Breast Lumpectomy Hyperspectral Images.

(1) Background: Hyperspectral imaging has emerged as a promising margin assessment technique for breast-conserving surgery. However, to be implicated intraoperatively, it should be both fast and capable of yielding high-quality images to provide accurate guidance and decision-making throughout the surgery. As there exists a trade-off between image quality and data acquisition time, higher resolution images come at the cost of longer acquisition times and vice versa.
