Reveal Surgical news

Hard-to-detect cancers like glioblastoma can have survival rates in the single-digit percentages and require elaborate techniques to detect, treat, and monitor. Reveal Surgical is working on changing that reality through its new, AI-based Sentry technology, which leverages a combination of AI and Raman spectroscopy to provide real-time tissue diagnostics during surgery for otherwise-invisible tumors.

Combining engineering and medicine can lead to world-leading tools like the Raman spectroscopy, which can help to distinguish cancer cells from healthy cells; for example, in brain tumour surgery.ISTOCKPHOTO / GETTY IMAGES

One of the biggest challenges in brain tumour surgery is making sure that all cancer cells are removed. “If you leave a few cancer cells behind, the cancer will come back,” says Frédéric Leblond, an engineer and full professor in the Depart

It’s a scene that plays out daily in operating rooms around the world: a surgeon removes a malignant brain tumour. But rather than registering the satisfaction of having saved a patient’s life, hanging in the air is an all-too-real statistic; in 99.5% of these operations, unseen cancer cells remain. That hidden cancer will eventually grow and spread, and the operation will have become only a short reprieve for the patient and their family.

As of November 2nd, ODS Medical, a Montreal-based AI medical technology startup, has rebranded as Reveal Surgical. Reveal Surgical helps surgeons see the unseen. Reveal’s technology can detect cancerous tissue that has been left behind using traditional imaging methods, combining an AI engine that provides real-time tissue characterization and intuitive optical probes that can be manipulated easily in a variety of surgical settings. The company aims to empower doctors to make

ODS Medical, Inc., a Montreal based medical technology company, is pleased to announce a new financing round to support product engineering and regulatory work. ODS Medical is bringing together the power of machine learning and molecular imaging to develop optical biopsy tools based on Raman spectroscopy. These tools are bringing real time tissue characterization to operating rooms and diagnostic suites, dete
