Dartmouth Engineering Surgical Margin Probe

Caption

Small enough to be integrated with a minimally-invasive surgical probe, the device senses differences in the flow of electric current through cancer cells for real-time assessment of the surgical margin (whether positive or negative for cancer). Pictured is the electrode array embedded in the probe tip.
