Real-Time 'Optical Biopsy' could help surgeons spot brain tumors Mid-Operation
NCT ID NCT06087393
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a handheld microscope called CONVIVO that gives surgeons real-time, high-resolution images of brain tissue during surgery. The goal is to see if it can easily tell healthy tissue from tumor tissue in 30 patients with brain tumors. If it works, it could help surgeons remove tumors more completely and safely.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help surgeons remove brain tumors more precisely by seeing tissue details in real time during surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early feasibility study with only 30 patients, so results may not apply to everyone. The device is already FDA cleared, but its usefulness for brain surgery is still being tested.
