Fluorescence Imaging in Medical Devices outlines medical applications and examples of devices that use fluorescence for imaging.

A composite image showing an eye processed through a sequence of transformations from left to right. The leftmost section displays a relatively clear image of a human eye with natural textures and lashes. Moving right, the image becomes increasingly abstract and pixelated through various digital processing techniques, including edge detection, binarization, contrast enhancement, and pixel block reduction. Each vertical segment represents a different stage or algorithm in the image processing pipeline, transitioning from high-resolution realism to low-resolution abstraction.

Computer Vision for Medical Devices is constantly evolving and incorporating new techniques and technologies as they emerge.
