Penn researchers use infrared imaging to detect lung tumours in humans.

Penn Medicine researchers are now able to identify cancerous tumours of the lung using infrared imaging that makes hidden tumours glow during surgery.  In a pilot study, researchers performed the first in-human demonstration of this technology to identify lung tumours during surgery without prior knowledge of their location or existence. Lung cancer is one of the deadliest of cancers, with more than 250,000 newly diagnosed … Continue reading Penn researchers use infrared imaging to detect lung tumours in humans.
