Tumour imaging technology promises cancer breakthrough. The process of the ENEA RM2012A000637 patent is very useful in this application. / La tecnologia di imaging tumorale promette la svolta nella cura del cancro. Il procedimento del brevetto ENEA RM2012A000637 è molto utile in questa applicazione. Segnalato dal Dott. Giuseppe Cotellessa / Reported by Dr. Giuseppe Cotellessa Waterloo researcher Parsin Haji Reza (Credit: University of Waterloo) A new imaging system that can precisely detect the edges of tumours in real-time could ‘revolutionise’ cancer surgery, according to its creators. Developed at Canada’s University of Waterloo, the technology relies upon a new technique known as photoacoustic remote sensing microscopy. It works by sending laser light pulses into targeted tissue, which absorbs them, heats up, expands and produces soundwaves. A second laser reads those soundwaves, which are then processed to determine if the tissue is cancerous or non-cancerous. Th
