NCIBT Director Dr Marcu's Invited Talk "FLIM-guided surgical interventions"

NCIBT Director Dr. Laura Marcu will present the latest findings related to TRD1 at an invited talk titled “FLIM-guided surgical interventions.”

This presentation overviews the applications of label-free fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) for guiding surgical and biopsy procedures. We present patient studies demonstrating the potential of label-free FLIM for guidance of various clinical interventions. These include real-time intraoperative assessment of diffuse gliomas' infiltrative edges, guidance for stereotactic brain biopsies, and delineation of surgical margins and residual oropharyngeal cancer during trans-oral robotic surgery. Current results highlight the potential of FLIM as an intra-procedural tool for enhancing the management of surgical and biopsy procedures.
