Seeing eye to eye: Building a cost-effective tool to visualize cancer

Cutting-edge surgical tools are often made with state-of-the-art technology, which can limit their overall accessibility. In an effort to expand surgical options for tumor removal, a team is developing a compact fluorescence-guided surgery system crafted from cost-effective, off-the-shelf components, an advance that could significantly reduce costs compared with current commercially available approaches. Their frugally designed system was evaluated in a mouse model and was recently reported in Scientific Reports.
