Automated Biopsy Assessment Possible with SLIM

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Spatial light interference microscopy (SLIM) might provide a quantitative way to diagnose breast cancer. Researchers at the University of Illinois recently used data-based SLIM assessment to determine whether breast tissue biopsies from 400 patients contained benign or malignant cells. The results agreed 88 and 87 percent of the time with the findings of two histopathologists who assessed the same samples using hematoxylin and eosin stains. The unstained samples were analyzed using a SLIM module attached to a commercial phase contrast microscope to generate interferograms —...Read full article
