A Wearable Fluorescence Imaging Device for Intraoperative Identification of Human Brain Tumors.

Surgical resection of MG remains the cornerstone of therapy and the extent of resection correlates with patient survival. A limiting factor for resection, however, is the difficulty in differentiating the tumor from normal tissue during surgery.
