One-Of-A-Kind Imaging Technology for Brain Tumor Surgery Improves Patient Outcomes
A one-of-a-kind optical imaging agent illuminates glioma, a primary brain tumor, making it easier for neurosurgeons to see the tumor tissue to be removed. The enhanced visualization enables neurosurgeons to identify and remove as much of the cancer as possible, thus improving patient outcomes. More...16 Jan 2023
New Catheter-Delivered Embolic Shows Promise for Treating Brain Bleed
In-vivo research by Fluidx Medical Technology (Salt Lake City, UT, USA) has shown that its IMPASS Embolic Device is successful in middle meningeal artery (MMA) embolizations which can be used to treat chronic subdural hematomas (CSDH) on the surface of the brain. More...12 Jan 2023
Groundbreaking Technology Radically Improves Minimally Invasive Endoscopic Surgery
A next-generation endoscope technology aims to radically improve minimally invasive flexible endoscopic surgery by harnessing the power of intelligently micro-machined smart materials to create highly dexterous manipulators at millimeter and sub-millimeter scales, thereby enhancing therapeutic outcomes.
