Pathology Lab on Wheels Can Revolutionize Brain Surgery
Studies show that in up to three-quarters of patients with brain cancer, portions of the tumor that could be safely removed are left behind, simply because the surgeon cannot see them. Now, a radically new kind of imaging system helps brain surgeons cut with more confidence. More...27 May 2022
AI Image Analysis Module Detects Cancers at the Time of Surgery
A new image analysis module based on deep learning allows neurosurgeons to identify areas of cancer infiltration in patients undergoing primary treatment of a diffuse glioma, providing cancer detection where they really need it and dramatically improving brain tumor surgery. More...26 May 2022
AI-Assisted Colonoscopy Identifies More Precancerous Polyps than Traditional Colonoscopy
A study has found that colonoscopies performed with computer-aided detection, or AI saw an increase in the overall rate of detection of adenoma, or cancerous and precancerous polyps, by 27% in average-risk patients. More...25 May 2022
Game-Changing ‘Bio-Glue’ Could End Use of Surgical Sutures and Staple
A new ‘bio-glue’ has the capability to replace and revolutionize tissue adhesives (like fibrin glue) currently utilized in clinical settings, triage situations and mass casualty incidents. The discovery of the new bio-glue designed using materials already approved by the US FDA for other applications may mean an end to surgical sutures and staples made of plastic or stainless steel.
