Glaucoma is the leading irreversible cause of blindness in the world. We are developing a new image-guidance system to deliver a neuroprotective drug in a controlled release nanosponge. The system consists of a magnetically tracked image-guidance system, the nanosponge material and the drug. We have characterized the performance of each aspect in phantoms, animals and ex-vivo human tissue.

Higher Rates of Visualization for Axillary Reverse Mapping Using Indocyanine Green Fluorescence Compared With Blue Dye.
J Surg Res
January 2025
Department of Surgery, UW-Madison, Madison, Wisconsin. Electronic address:
Introduction: Successful axillary reverse mapping (ARM) during lymph node surgery for breast cancer has the potential to reduce risk of lymphedema. Standard of care uses blue dye for ARM; however, recent imaging advances with near-infrared indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence has demonstrated potential to improve intraoperative ARM imaging. The objective was to determine the feasibility of using ICG fluorescence through the OnLume Avata System for ARM.

Background: This study aimed to quantify radiation doses during navigational bronchoscopy procedures, comparing them with reported cohorts and evaluating the LungVision (Body Vision Medical Inc.) system's efficacy in dose reduction.
Methods: This retrospective observational study included 52 consecutive navigational bronchoscopy cases, categorized into 4 imaging groups based on the C-arm: Cios Spin (Siemens Healthineers), or OEC 9900 (GE HealthCare); and the 3D tomographic imaging algorithm: Cios Spin's onboard imaging, or LungVision's AI-driven imaging.

Department of Radiation Oncology, HM Hospitales, Madrid, Spain.
Introduction: SRS for the treatment of limited brain metastases (BM) is widely accepted, but there are still limitations in the management of numerous BM. Frameless single-isocenter multitarget SRS is a novel technique that allows for rapid treatment delivery to multiple BM. We report our preliminary clinical, dosimetric, and patient´s shifts outcomes with this technique.

Department of Radiation Oncology, University of Florida College of Medicine, Jacksonville, FL, USA.
Objectives: Radiotherapy manages pancreatic cancer in various settings; however, the proximity of gastrointestinal (GI) luminal organs-at-risk (OAR) poses challenges to conventional radiotherapy. Proton beam therapy (PBT) may reduce toxicities compared to photon therapy. This consensus statement summarizes PBT's safe and optimal delivery for pancreatic tumors.
