Develop new technology for early detection of brain tumors

US scientists on September 4 said they have developed a new laser-based technology that can help surgeons quickly and accurately detect and remove brain tumors.

Known as the method of stimulating Raman scattering microscopy (SRS) , the nature of this technology is to project non-invasive lasers into the tissues of the brain and detect weak tissue tissues. .

By analyzing the spectrum of these signals, scientists can build an image of the structure of the tissue. Amplifying these signals helps experts quickly get answers instead of previous technical methods that often take hours or days to get results, facilitating surgeons .

The scientists have applied SRS microscopy to live mice during mouse brain surgery and demonstrated that this method could capture tumors in areas of the living brain, areas where Cell tissues look normal when viewed with the naked eye.

Experts assess the method of microscopic examination of SRS microscopy such as Hematoxylin and Eosin staining methods are used in brain tumor diagnosis.

This work was done by University of Michigan and Harvard scientists and published in the journal Science Translational Medicine.
