revolution in medicine – New Mini robot worm to absorb brain tumors
operations the brain of a human being are not only dangerous but also for the physicians and specialists highly sophisticated. A new “Robot Worm” from NBIB, the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering in the U.S. should help the physicians to locate tumors in the brain, freeze them and absorb. The mini-robot is inserted through the nose into the head of man, and is guided by computer to the location of the tumor to perform his job. The new “Robot Worm” is a major advance in the fight against brain tumors.
“Robot Worm” sucks brain tumors
The objective of the robotic worm is clearly the removal of a brain tumor in a gentle and precise manner. This is the worm work so precise that only the tumor is removed and the intact brain matter is spared. The method does this in combination with an MRI scanner. Before the patient is slid into the tube to indicate to the brain computer of the worm is positioned in the patient’s skull. Once Stir the doctors can locate the tumor, and will guide the worm to this spot, which then begins its work.
progress in medicine
The use of an MRI scanner has the great advantage that the doctors have a constantly updated picture of the brain during the work of the robotic worm and can control the process as optimal. This system of the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering, in contrast to classical methods, the advantage that it hands down precise and gentle on the one hand, and also that the worm can reach tumors that may be for doctors on the operating table difficult to achieve ‘s. So far, the robot-worm, however, was only tested on animals and will probably need a little more time to actually be used in everyday medicine. Nevertheless, the robot-like worm recently the 3D bio printers organ donor, another major advance in medicine.
