Abstract
Neuroscience Needle biopsies of the brain are commonly used for diagnosing brain tumors but can cause intracerebral hemorrhage. Ramakonar et al. developed a high-resolution imaging needle that allows for improved visualization and differentiation of at-risk blood vessels in real time. They detected blood vessels with high sensitivity and specificity over a large field of view in both mouse brain and human brain tissue samples. Thus, optical imaging needles could reduce the occurrence of brain hemorrhages during biopsies and other neurosurgical procedures. Sci. Adv. 10.1126/sciadv.aav4992 (2018).
