U.S. development of microscopy for real-time biopsy of brain tumors

Release date: 2009-11-18




Recently, experts from the Barro Institute of Neurology at St. Joseph Hospital and Medical Center in the United States have recently developed a miniature hand-held microscope that allows the location of tumors to be more easily identified during surgery, thereby transforming brain tumors. More precise. Related research results were published in the latest issue of Neurosurgery.

Researchers say that over time, new types of tumors will be diagnosed with a variety of tumor types and levels, and traditional intraoperative diagnostic methods will gradually be replaced by real-time analysis using new microscopes. These images can also be analyzed remotely to improve the accuracy of intraoperative diagnostics.

It is reported that the researchers used a new mini-laser confocal microscope that can be used to view brain tumor areas during surgery and obtain digital images of tumors and brain tissue. This was previously impossible without the use of tissue sections.

In recent years, the incidence of intracranial tumors is on the rise. According to statistics, intracranial tumors account for about 5% of systemic tumors, while other malignant tumors eventually have 20-30% transferred into the cranium due to their invasive invasive growth. Once there is a certain space in the skull, whether its nature is benign or malignant, it will inevitably increase the intracranial pressure, oppress the brain tissue, cause central nervous system damage, and endanger the patient's life.
