‘AI-Triaged’ 3D Pathology Improves Cancer Detection

By November 1, 2023November 17th, 2023No Comments

An interdisciplinary research team including Wynn Burke, research consultant, and Dr. William Grady, professor (Gastroenterology) recently found a more accurate and less labor-intensive way to diagnose malignancies.

The team began by pioneering a new imaging technology called Open-Top Light Sheet (OTLS) microscopy—in which whole tissue specimens are treated with specific reagents to render them optically clear before being stained and imaged in 3D on a specially-equipped microscope.
