Neurosurgery is the first line treatment for most malignancies of the brain however intraoperative healthy and diseased tissue differentiation often remains a challenge. We have demonstrated earlier that wide-field Muller Polarimetry Imaging (MPI) is a promising approach for brain tissue differentiation and fiber tracking. To examine the technique’s versatility in a similar to in vivo setting, we used our system to create maps of polarimetric properties for tissue differentiation in cadaveric animal brains under neurosurgery-like conditions. We present the effects of ultrasonic cavitation on optical response and examined the challenges of a complex topography and blood presence in a surgical resection cavity.
