Multispectral Camera Detects Tumors During Surgery

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Email
A multispectral camera that simultaneously displays several fluorescent dyes and the reflectance image in real time could help surgeons ensure that they don't leave behind tiny pieces of malignant tumors. Obviously, cancer patients have a better chance of recovering if their tumors are completely removed. But tiny clusters often are difficult for surgeons to recognize and remove, and the margins between malignant and healthy tissue are difficult to differentiate.
