We present a macroscopic line scanning Raman imaging system which has been modified to be suitable for intraoperative use. A sterilizable probe muzzle was designed to flatten the biological tissue ensuring its position at the focal plane of the Raman probe optics, removing the need for probe sterilization. The system uses a flexible imaging probe with a 1cm2 field of view to record fingerprint Raman images, mounted on an articulated arm that supports the probe weight and allows gentle contact with the tissue. Validation results obtained on porcine tissues show >95% classification accuracy between different tissue types.
