Jens de Winne won the best paper award at Optical Biopsy XXIII

(10-03-2025) Jens de Winne and his co-authors won the award for their paper on 'Real-time assessment of graft oxygenation and perfusion using spectral imaging for improved outcome in esophageal cancer surgery'.

Jens de Winne, a PhD researcher at IPI (Image Processing and Interpretation), and his co-authors Danilo Babin, Hiep Luong, Siri Luthman, Elke Van Daele, Hanne Vanommeslaeghe, and Wim Ceelen, won the award for best paper at the conference "Optical Biopsy XXIII: Toward Real-Time Spectroscopic Imaging and Diagnosis". 

Optical Biopsy XXIII: Toward Real-Time Spectroscopic Imaging and Diagnosis

The goal of this conference is to present novel, state-of-the-art work in non-invasive spectroscopic and imaging methods to detect the onset and progression of disease, including pre-malignancy and malignancy, and intra-operatively, and tissue and cells’ response to external conditions, including therapeutic intervention, unintended injury, and laser energy deposition.

1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners will receive a cash prize award of $300 along with their award certificate for best paper and oral presentations.
