Researchers used a Renishaw RA816 Biological Analyser to identify the genetically different subtypes of brain gliomas in a neurosurgical setting. By understanding the genetics of a tumour during the operation, the clinician would be able to map out the best surgical and treatment strategy. This could improve survival rates and treatment response of the patient.
Raman spectroscopy can provide surgeons with a wealth of information which could support them in deciding on the most appropriate intervention strategies. It is possible that in under 15 minutes, tumour tissue could be accurately identified and marked for
