Bio-Medical
NASA Tech Briefs’ Bio-Medical Web page spotlights bio-medical technologies and product design ideas that have been published in NASA Tech Briefs magazine. This library of tech briefs pertains to the development and rollout of new bio-medical and life sciences technologies produced by NASA, its partners, and industry. Many of the Tech Briefs below are correlated to a Technical Support Package (TSP) or White Paper that can be downloaded free of charge.
Using Electronic Noses To Detect Tumors During Neurosurgery
Sensors would help surgeons determine whether tumors have been removed completely.
It has been proposed to develop special-purpose electronic noses and algorithms for processing the digitized outputs of the electronic noses for determining whether tissue exposed during neurosurgery is cancerous. At present, visual inspection by a surgeon is the only available intraoperative technique for detecting cancerous ...
