Image guided surgery
During surgery, tumor tissue is often difficult to identify. As a consequence, the surgeon can have difficulty deciding which tissue should be removed and which tissue can be spared. If tumor tissue is left behind during surgery, the risk of local recurrence increases which often necessitates.
To tackle this problem, we developed and implemented a concept called image-guided surgery to improve surgical precision and patient outcome. This innovative approach is concentrated around the three sequential steps within the surgical workflow; Tumor localization, Tumor treatment (surgical resection) and Assessment of tumor treatment.
