Spectroscopy Probe to Improve Intraop Brain Cancer Detection (VIDEO) Researchers*at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital and Polytechnique Montréal became a part of a collaborative effort to develop a new Spectroscopy Probe to detect different types of Brain tumors. This new tech**logy allows neurosurgeons to locate Brain neoplasms in real-time and could potentially*become the new standard in*brain surgery.
Healthy Brain tissue is difficult to differentiate visually from cancerous type, and patients who have these tumors ******* often need to have follow up surgery*again as **t all of the Cancer was taken out. The new device emits laser light onto the tissue and acquires a signal that can determine some characteristics of the molecular makeup within. The Raman Probe can successfully identify cancerous tissue 92% of the time, and the probes have been tested intraoperatively on patients with gliomas of grade 2, 3, and 4.
Clinical studies have been planned to take place at*the*Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital on patients*with recurrent and newly diag**sed glioblastoma.
Here are the researchers talking about the new probe:
