A tool of high versatility
The Histolog Scanner is a highly versatile and adaptable technology that can be used in a wide range of applications. With its advanced imaging capabilities, it is capable of providing high-resolution images of tissues, allowing for more precise diagnosis and treatment planning in various medical specialties.
Brain cancer
In 2022, the Leeds Teaching Hospitals in the UK conducted a feasibility study on the use of the Histolog Scanner for real-time intraoperative brain tumor diagnosis in 12 patients. The study's findings indicated that the process was quick and straightforward, taking less than 5 minutes to obtain an image. The results also showed a high level of agreement (91%) with final pathology, demonstrating the potential of the Histolog Scanner as an effective tool for intraoperative brain tumor diagnosis.
Emerging applications
These emerging applications hold great promise for the future of diagnostics, treatment, and research. In this section, we will explore some of the applications that are only beginning to be studied and the exciting new possibilities they may offer.
Kidney cancer
In 2022, the Canisius-Wilhelmina Ziekenhuis in the Netherlands conducted an exploratory study using the Histolog Scanner to assess surgical margins during robot-assisted partial nephrectomy on six patients. The study revealed that the Histolog Scanner provided a fast and simple method for assessing surgical margins, and offered improved diagnostic resolution when compared to current solutions. These results demonstrate the potential of the Histolog Scanner as a valuable tool for intraoperative margin assessment during kidney surgeries, and suggest that it could lead to more accurate and precise surgical outcomes.
ENT cancer
The Gustave Roussy Institute in France conducted a 2022 evaluation of the Histolog Scanner's imaging capabilities for cervical lymph nodes in 44 patients with squamous cell carcinoma, finding a 93% agreement rate with conventional histology. These findings highlight the potential of the Histolog Scanner as a valuable tool for non-invasive diagnosis and monitoring of cervical lymph nodes.
Some unmentionned applications, such as GI, are also currently under investigation.
Limitless innovation for better healthcare.
As we don’t find satisfaction with the status quo, we always strive to push boundaries beyond expectations and are open to collaborating on other applications.
