Revolutionary Cancer Surgery: New Imaging Procedure Uses Short-Wave Infrared Light
A groundbreaking imaging procedure using short-wave infrared light has been developed by researchers from Dresden and Los Angeles. Clinical studies are underway at the University Hospital Bonn to document its benefits for patients, with the goal of swiftly integrating this technology into cancer treatment.
The innovative technique, developed by a collaborative duo, combines short-wave infrared light with fluorescent dyes and advanced camera technology. It enables surgeons to differentiate between various types of tissue based on their water content, making specific structures visible. This precision could revolutionize surgery, aiding in the removal of cancerous tissue while preserving healthy tissue.
The National Center for Tumor Diseases Dresden (NCT/UCC) is actively working to bring this technology into practical use as soon as possible. Clinical studies are currently being conducted at the University Hospital Bonn, specifically involving the Institute for Patient Safety (IfPS), which focuses on patient safety research including medical imaging. These studies aim to document the benefits of the imaging systems for patients.
The new imaging procedure, which uses short-wave infrared light and special fluorescent dyes, holds great promise for improving cancer surgery. With ongoing clinical studies at the University Hospital Bonn and the National Center for Tumor Diseases Dresden working to integrate this technology swiftly, the future of surgical precision in cancer treatment looks brighter.
