Eye Glasses that spot cancer!!

According to Dr. Samuel Achilefu it is better than an x-ray vision as surgeons only rely on scans in order to know how much tissue to remove


The primary goal of the technology is to make sure that the surgeon does not operate in the blind, it's to make the cancer cells light up like Christmas trees," said Achilefu

According to tech times the system works by first injecting the patient with a cancer-targeting dye that attaches to abnormal cells. Then a near infrared light is beamed on the target area which allows a surgeon wearing specialized glasses to see cancer cells glowing.
