For the resection of brain tumors, MRI images are taken preoperatively in order to localize the tumor and subsequently plan the surgical intervention. Intraoperatively, there is currently a lack of tools to reliably localize the tumor.

Results with the HSI technology show that it will most likely be possible to identify the tumor with this method. The work on this topic is carried out in cooperation with the Institute of Biomedical Engineering of the TU Dresden, which has already published first papers on this topic and offers a short insight on their homepage.
