ODS Medical’s Innovative Device Could Revolutionize Brain Cancer Surgery

The Montreal-based startup ODS Medical is developing a handheld surgical guidance tool to improve accuracy in cancer surgery. Based on a set of advanced optical techniques, such as Raman spectroscopy, intrinsic fluorescence and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, together with sophisticated machine learning algorithms, their laser technology measure scattered light to provide more specific information about the molecular makeup of the targeted brain tissue.
