Robots could one day help surgeons remove hard to reach brain tumors

Thursday, September 5, 2013 - 10:00 in Biology & Nature

Scientists and engineers are teaming up with neurosurgeons to develop technologies that enable less invasive, image-guided removal of hard-to-reach brain tumors. Their technologies combine novel imaging techniques that allow surgeons to see deep within the brain during surgery with robotic systems that enhance the precision of tissue removal.
