Abstract: Multispectral imaging systems are provided including a first light source having a first wavelength configured to image a sample; a second light source , different from the first light source , having a second wavelength , different from the first wavelength , configured to image the sample; and at least a third light source , different from the first and second light sources , having a third wavelength , different from the first and second wavelengths , configured to image the sample. A camera is configured to receive information related to the first , second and at least third light sources from the sample. A processor is configured to combine the information related to the first , second and at least third light sources provided by the camera to image an anatomical structure of the sample , image physiology of blood flow and perfusion of the sample and/or synthesize the anatomical structure and the physiology of blood flow and perfusion of the sample in terms of a blood flow rate distribution. The imaging system is directed and focused on a field of view (FOV) in a region of interest of the sample using an endoscope.
