Researchers from University of Michigan Medical School and Harvard University have developed a new imaging technique which enables quick and accurate identification of tumor tissues.
The new imaging method employs stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy, laser-based technique that can be used during a surgery as a way to guide the surgeon.
This new technique proved to be useful during experiments on human and mouse brain tissues which had healthy and cancerous regions.
