• The first step in treatment of Brain Tumor is often surgery to remove as much of the mass as possible.
• Next a tumor sample obtained and analyzed during surgery can help to precisely diagnose the tumor and define the margins between tumor and healthy brain tissue.
• The challenge is that such intraoperative pathology analysis takes time — the sample must be processed, stained, and analyzed by a pathologist while the surgeon and patient wait for the results.
• The new Approach as published in Jan 6 Nature Medicine shows that a process combining an advanced imaging technology and artificial intelligence (AI) can accurately diagnose brain tumors in fewer than 3 minutes during surgery. The approach was also able to accurately distinguish tumor tissue from healthy tissue.
