A team of researchers and clinicians led by the University of Adelaide in South Australia has found that an “imaging needle” may reduce the risk of dangerous brain bleeds in patients undergoing brain biopsy. Published today in the journal Science Advances, the study describes how they fashioned the imaging device with a tiny fiber-optic camera encased […]

This tiny camera on a needle could enable safer brain surgeries
A team of researchers at the Center for Nanoscale BioPhotonics at the University of Adelaide in Australia have developed a brain biopsy needle with a tiny camera attached to the end to make brain surgery safer. When performing surgery on a brain tumor, regular biopsy needles usually pose the risk of hitting a blood vessel, […]
