The intraoperative assessment of tumor margins of head and neck cancer is crucial for complete tumor resection and patient outcome. The current standard is to take intraoperatively tumor biopsies for frozen section analysis or to wait for the postoperative final histopathology report. The intraoperative evaluation is time-consuming, subjective, and methodologically limited. Optical methods like hyperspectral imaging (HSI) are of high interest to overcome these limitations. We present a framework to connect in-vivo HSI measurements to ex-vivo histopathological assessments with results as first steps towards the use of HSI as a tool for in-vivo tumor evaluation during head and neck surgery.
