Nonlinear microscopy for real time histology and cancer surgical guidance (Conference Presentation)

Nonlinear microscopy (NLM) enables rapid evaluation of surgical specimens without the need for physical sectioned. Coupled with careful design of clinical workflow it has the potential to enable many new applications for cancer surgical guidance, reducing rates of repeat surgeries and improving outcomes. This presentation described NLM methods for real time histology and examples applications including breast cancer lumpectomy and prostate cancer surgery.
