Morphologically Friendly Tissue Imaging
Researchers at Purdue University have developed a novel, morphologically friendly method for DESI-MS tissue imaging. The use of processing chemicals that preserve native tissue structures, instead of destroying them, expands the applications of DESI-MS to tissue imaging. DESI-MS has been used in real time to help surgeons decide how much tissue to take during cancer removal procedures. This new morphologically friendly procedure allows a facile means to distinguish between cancerous and healthy tissues.
