Better sensor technology for shorter operation times and improved patient safety
In its latest Research Training Group (GRK) funding round, the German Research Foundation (DFG) has approved a further Research Training Group at the University of Stuttgart. The GRK will perform research in the field of medical technology to develop innovative sensor systems for "Intraoperative Multisensory Tissue Differentiation in Oncology". These will enable cancer surgeons to differentiate at high resolution between malignant and healthy tissue during surgery, enabling them to better determine if tissue needs to be removed or preserved. In the long term, the aim of the GRK is to employ real-time data to improve patient safety and to shorten lengthy operations. The Research Training Group will be a collaboration between the University of Stuttgart and the University of Tübingen. The group's spokesman is Prof. Oliver Sawodny from the Institute for System Dynamics at the University of Stuttgart. Precise tumor removal requires simpler and faster differentiation between malignant and healthy tissues.
