New imaging technology to help save brain cells during cancer surgery
Researchers from the EU-funded research project HELiCoiD have developed hyper-spectral imaging technologies which can help distinguish more accurately between healthy tissue and that affected by tumour.
The prototype hyper-spectral camera has been tested during brain cancer surgery at NegrÃn Hospital Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, in Spain. This non-invasive technology can provide more detailed information allowing real-time identification of healthy and affected tissue during brain surgery.
