Innovative cancer treatment within an MRI

module_1554483593636262

Ray Harter of Marvel Medtech is doing some amazing things. He's developed a mechanical system which can do a live biopsy amidst an MRI. The old school methodology is to perform an MRI, go do a biopsy, do another MRI and check if the biopsy got all the tissue, if not do another biopsy, rinse and repeat. This is cumbersome and not the best way to do it. Marvel Medtech has created a robot which can be controlled remotely and used live in the MRI. This eliminates all the roundtripping and can get rid of cancerous tissue in one go.
