Metabolite-Imaging Mass Spectrometry to Guide Brain Surgery
Summary
Purdue University researchers have developed a method for surgeons to define tumor margins quickly during surgery using miniature mass spectrometers or separate ionization techniques. This method overcomes the need for prepping, staining, and evaluation by a pathologist. It is also possible to adapt this method for other types of cancer surgery.
