New microscope could help surgeons spot brain tumor borders in real time
NCT ID NCT05513859
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early study tests a new imaging technique called qOBM that may help brain surgeons see tumor edges more clearly during surgery. About 24 adults with certain brain tumors (glioblastoma, astrocytoma, or oligodendroglioma) will have the device used during their planned tumor removal. The goal is to check if qOBM is safe and reliable for finding tumor margins, which could lead to more complete tumor removal.
