Researchers to Perform First-Ever Mixed-Reality Robotic Heart Surgery Inside MRI Machine
A team of scientists has received a four-year, USD 3.7 million National Institutes of Health grant to attempt what they say would be a medical first: performing robotic heart catheterization while the patient is inside a MR) machine. More...20 Oct 2022
Portable Imaging System Helps Surgeons Distinguish Between Healthy and Cancerous Tissue During Tumor Removal
Researchers have developed a low-cost, simple imaging system that uses tumor-targeting fluorescent molecules to determine the depth of tumor cells in the body. The portable system could eventually help surgeons distinguish between healthy and cancerous tissue with higher precision when removing a tumor. More...19 Oct 2022
Testing for Blood Fats Prior to Heart Surgery Could Reduce Postoperative Bleeding
Researchers have revealed a new way to reduce blood loss in heart surgeries by identifying changes in blood fat levels that relate to the patients’ risk of bleeding. With a simple test before the surgery, clinicians could anticipate this postoperative complication and act to prevent it. More...13 Oct 2022
Delayed Fluorescence Imaging Method Could Enable Effective Surgical Tumor Removal
In a new study, researchers have proposed an optical imaging system that enables real-time imaging of tissue oxygen concentration for tumors presenting chronic or transient hypoxia that would help in distinguishing between tumors and healthy tissues in the surgical treatment of cancer.
