Tumor-Zapping Endoscope in Development

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
A proposed endoscope that would provide high-quality images of tumors in internal organs could also assist in the delivery of chemotherapy drugs. Spatial frequency domain imaging gives the endoscope improved image contrast by projecting patterns of light at different frequencies on cancer cells. A digital mask would allow users to control the shape and strength of the endoscope’s light beam. This would allow it to pop open nanoballoons containing chemotherapy drugs for targeted treatment of tumors. University at Buffalo professor Dr. Ulas Sunar is leading the project,...Read full article
