Removing brain tumors more precisely

The clinical proof-of-concet of the jointly at BMO and MLL realized OCTAir-Jet Elastography is being funded as part of the BMBF's DATIpilot innovation sprint program as one of 150 out of 3000 applications. The system developed is to be used in the neurosurgery department of the UKSH, Campus Lübeck for intraoperative brain tumor detection on patients. It shall replace the so far used manual tumor palpation by the neurosurgeon by providing precise and also quantified data.
