Chapter 8 on spatial structure of a specific tissue, and palpation. For our technique to add most to this judgment, it should be extended from spot‐wise probe‐measurements to full field imaging of the whole surgical field. Furthermore, additional value is gained when tissue classification is enhanced even in cases where a ureter or artery is covered under a layer of fatty or connective tissue. This also needs further investigation. Conclusions In this study we have identified that Si and InGaAs sensors are equally suited for automated discrimination between ureters and surrounding adipose tissue. Furthermore, Si sensors are slightly better for artery versus mesenteric adipose tissue differentiation. Our results underline the potential for automated (hyper‐)spectral classification of ureter and artery in adipose surroundings using relative spectral features in the DRS signal. 122
