Cancer cells are nearly impossible to distinguish from normal tissue without sophisticated detection methods and conventional methods fail to provide real-time information during the surgical procedure. ODS Medical is developing an exclusive Raman spectroscopy system that collects data through an optical probe and is interfaced with sophisticated machine learning algorithm to identify tissues abnormalities in […]

Raman spectroscopy is a compound identification technique that can be used for real-time identification of cancerous tissues during surgery. The development and clinical translation of an intraoperative surgical-guidance instrument based on this technique is the main objective of ODS Medical, a Canadian startup. However, Raman signals are intrinsically very weak thereby requiring the measurements to […]
