| Live adaptation of organ models in the OR Posted: 29 Dec 2014 05:17 AM PST During minimally invasive operations, a surgeon has to trust the information displayed on the screen: A virtual 3D model of the respective organ shows where a tumor is located and where sensitive vessels can be found. Soft tissue, such as the tissue of the liver, however, deforms during breathing or when the scalpel is applied. Endoscopic cameras record in real time how the surface deforms, but do not show the deformation of deeper structures such as tumors. Young scientists have now developed a real-time capable computation method to adapt the virtual organ to the deformed surface profile. |
| Posted: 27 Dec 2014 06:13 AM PST Researchers have developed an extraction column which recovers metals companies use in their production processes; and thus cuts environmental pollution and lessen economic losses. |
| Development of software that 'predicts' sudden cardiac death Posted: 24 Dec 2014 07:30 AM PST At Galway Hospital, in Ireland, a device is currently used to "predict" cardiac events in people at risk of sudden cardiac death. This technology was developed by a Mexican, and the city's University patented it looking to sell it to specialized companies. |
