INNOVATORS
From artificial intelligence tools to new fluorescent dyes to better identify blood vessels, researchers are putting federal money toward an ambitious goal: improving cancer surgery.
Totalling up to $150 million, the awards are meant to help surgeons remove tumors in a single operation. They went to:
— Dartmouth College, for a laparoscopic imaging tool for prostate cancer surgery, including 3D mapping and visualization.
— Johns Hopkins University, for non-invasive imaging to give surgeons a more colorful view of surgery. JHU is also using fluorescent dyes, combined with endoscopes, to help surgeons more easily see blood vessels and nerves, so they don’t accidentally cut them.
— Rice University, for a microscope for imaging tumor slices and artificial intelligence algorithms to...
