Cornea is the most widely transplanted human tissue. To ensure good surgical results and effective visual recovery, thorough screening of donors and donor tissues is essential throughout the transplantation process. This screening minimizes the risk of transmitting infectious diseases and environmental contaminants to the recipient while guaranteeing high optical and functional quality. Therefore, quality assessment of the cornea at various stages - from donor selection to transplantation is crucial to ensure longevity and effectiveness. Currently, these assessments require skilled personnel and can be subjective and lack specificity. This research proposes using hyperspectral imaging (HSI) for the quality assessment of corneal flaps prior to transplantation. HSI, a non-invasive imaging technique, captures both spectral and spatial information of the sample, offering automation possibilities. By mapping specific wavelengths to known absorption bands of substances, various stains and pigments can be accurately identified and confirmed. The proposed spectral image analysis provides a robust and non-invasive method for detecting contaminants, enhancing the reliability of corneal quality assessment.
