Intelligent scalpel iKnife recognizes cancerous tissue

Release date: 2014-12-02

Cancer patients want to completely get rid of the tumor at the first surgery, to ensure that all cancer tissues have been eliminated to prevent cancer from recurring. However, during tumor resection, the surgeon relies heavily on medical images and other information collected before surgery. The information that can be obtained is not direct information, but from indirect information before surgery, so that they will never know exactly. What you are cutting out makes the whole process very difficult.

The answer to this question is the iKnife scalpel, which allows surgeons to know if the tissue they are removing is cancerous. As an electronic scalpel, iKnife's probe can burn into human tissue using electrical charge. But unlike traditional electronic scalpels, iKnife extracts useful information from the vapors emitted by the cauterized body tissue, which introduces vapor into the mass spectrometer for chemical composition analysis, allowing the surgeon to know which one is being removed. Type of human tissue.

iKnife's analysis can be completed in less than two seconds. It is also equipped with a touch screen monitor to display the results of the analysis, as well as to inform the doctor via audio signals.

Because of the previous surgery, cancer is not determined by the naked eye, patients often need to patiently undergo cancer testing after surgery. According to statistics, even one in five breast cancer patients must undergo a second operation.

Clinical trials have shown that iKnife can help remove more cancerous tissue and prevent damage to healthy human tissue compared to existing electronic scalpels, which can reduce the rate of reoperations.

Of course, iKnife is still in beta, and random testing will be conducted in early 2016.
