Researchers have developed an AI powered model that -- in 10 seconds -- can determine during surgery if any part of a cancerous brain tumor that could be removed remains.The technology, called FastGlioma, outperformed conventional methods for identifying what remains of a tumor by a wide margin. Researchers say it has the potential to change the field of neurosurgery by immediately improving comprehensive management of patients with diffuse gliomas.

X-rays are a common component of diagnostic testing and industrial monitoring, used for everything from monitoring your teeth to scanning your suitcase at the airport. But the high-energy rays also produce ionizing radiation, which can be dangerous after prolonged or excessive exposures. Now, researchers have taken a step toward safer X-rays by creating a highly sensitive and foldable detector that produces good quality images with smaller dosages of the rays.
