The system, called MediSCAPE (Swept Confocally Aligned Planar Excitation microscopy), is capable of capturing images of tissue structures that can guide surgeons to navigate tumors and their boundaries without needing to remove tissues and wait for pathology results. If proven in the field, the technology could eventually replace conventional biopsies and histology with real-time imaging within the living body.
