The Johns Hopkins University received a $5,913,545 Cooperative Agreement award under the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) program (CFDA 93.384) from the U.S. Department of Interior's Interior Business Center. The project aims to develop a cutting-edge surgical imaging system that integrates photoacoustic ultrasound and fluorescence imaging into existing endoscopes. This will enable real-time, non-contact visualization to differentiate cancerous and healthy tissues, improving surgical precision and reducing complications. The 5-year project will evolve from prototyping to preclinical testing, incorporating feedback from end-users. As a sub-award, Kitware Inc. will assist with tasks including establishing compliant software development processes, image registration methods, and cancer detection algorithms.
