Hi, I need to be clarified about one thing which helps me a lot to fix my research topic for Ph.D in Computer Science and Engineering. I would like to know whether the hyperspectral cameras have the ability to penetrate through human body to find defects in human organs such as kidneys, heart etc. As my area of interest is using hyperspectral technology in EchoCardiography, I didn't get a clear idea about whether hyperspectral cameras can be used to convert the ultrasound waves into hyperspectral image.Please do clarify my doubt in this.
Hyperspectral cameras that I have seen can view wavelengths beyond visible light (into IR and UV), but cannot see the results of sonic (sound pressure) waves inside bodies. The ultrasound images are produced by "microphones" picking up the reflected sound waves from transducers that project the acoustic energy into the target. Very clever wave-directing and detecting systems perform this complex process, which is then rendered into the viewable images with complex post-processing. These sonic internal activities will probably be invisible to cameras that respond to wavelengths near visible light.
Thank you for the reply Mr. Carl Van Wormer. I had a belief that the waves returning from the target could be captured and converted to an hyperspectral image. Thank you very much for the clarification.
