Towards automated real-time analysis of tissue samples next to the operating room
New methods for tissue sample analysis such as Polarimetry are on the rise. The future promises systems that allow performing analysis of resected tissues right next to the operating room in real-time. Application examples include the analysis of tumour borders where a real-time feedback is essential as it influences the decision weather more tissue should be resected or not. The resected tissue samples have sizes and thicknesses that not necessarily match the field of view of the imaging system, making scanning of the sample a necessity. Thus, we are developing an automated positioning stage that will allow placement of the tissue sample with respect to an imaging system in 4 degrees of freedom (3 translation, 1 rotation), reducing manual workload and increasing efficiency. You will develop a motorized stage that automatically places tissue samples with respect to the imaging system and allow for an automated image acquisition process.
