Pioneering histology-based surgical navigation for better tumor removal surgeries

For patients with malignant brain tumors, complete surgical removal of tumor tissue is often an important part of the treatment trajectory. However, conventional surgical navigation faces significant limitations. Arago Labs is developing a novel method and surgical navigation system that enables more precise visualization of tumor tissue at a cellular level during surgery. This technology enhances surgical precision and empowers surgeons to make more accurate decisions. In the long term, it has the potential to improve patient outcomes and set a new standard of care.
