Visualization Modalities for Surgery with AI
Our team has followed with deep attention the recent Hamlyn Symposium. In particular, we have enjoyed the great presentation by Professor Laura Marcu from UC Davis about fluorescence imaging during surgery, using that modality as a surgical aid. Fluorescence imaging is very widely used in microscopy: you inject a specific dye into the specimen, and upon chemical interaction with specific target molecules they dye “shines” at a specific wavelength. This is used to detect the presence and quantity of the target molecule. It is used for cancer detection: you can
