About

Maritoni Litorja is a research scientist whose work bridges biomedical optics and imaging instrumentation, with a focus on hyperspectral imaging for medical and biological applications. Her key research areas include the development of calibration standards and phantoms for validating hyperspectral imaging systems, as well as the application of these systems to study tissue physiology. One of her major contributions is the design of custom-tailored microarray phantoms, which serve as reproducible test targets for characterizing hyperspectral imagers—critical for ensuring accuracy in biological and clinical measurements. This work, published in 2012, has garnered 4 citations and provides foundational methodology for image-based phantom design and analysis. Litorja also contributed to a notable study on renal ischemia, using DLP® hyperspectral imaging to compare artery-only occlusion versus artery and vein occlusion during surgery. This research, presented in the *Journal of Urology* in 2010 (3 citations), demonstrates the translational potential of hyperspectral imaging for real-time tissue assessment in urological procedures. Her efforts in phantom design and intraoperative imaging highlight her role in advancing reliable, non-invasive optical diagnostics for both research and clinical settings.
