1. A medical device, in particular surgical device, for examining an organic tissue, comprising:
an input interface by means of which at least one reference tissue section of a human body can be defined in order to define an assigned reference tissue type;
a multispectral image sensor arrangement which is designed:
to detect at least one respective characteristic distribution of multispectral intensity profiles, CDMI, for each defined reference tissue section, wherein the respective characteristic distribution, CDMI, comprises multispectral intensity profiles for each position of a first plurality of positions within the selected reference tissue section;
as well as to detect a multispectral intensity profile of each position of a second plurality of positions of a tissue region to be examined,
a computing device which is configured to determine whether, based on the detected characteristic distributions, CDMI, at least one tissue section of the tissue region to be examined can be assigned to a reference tissue type using the detected multispectral intensity profiles of positions of the second plurality of positions associated with the at least one tissue section, and, if this is the case, to assign the at least one tissue section accordingly; and
a display device which is configured to indicate the at least one assigned tissue section as being assigned to the corresponding reference tissue type.
