New Imaging Technique Automates Analysis of Brain Tumor Tissue During Surgery
National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and BioengineeringBrain surgery for removing cancerous tissue is a delicate and high-stakes task. Now researchers funded by NIBIB have created a way to improve tumor removal surgery by distinguishing cancerous tissue from healthy tissue faster. The method developed by researchers at the University of Michigan Medical School makes brain tumor surgery more precise, improving safety.
