Researchers have taken an important step in the development of a microscope to precisely guide doctors during surgery to remove brain tumors
For the first time, a team led by engineers at the University of Waterloo used laser imaging technology to almost instantly identify cancerous tissue with accuracy comparable to laboratory tests that take up to two weeks.

Digital X-ray technology developed by a University of Waterloo spinoff company has won approval from Health Canada.
A medical device licence issued for Reveal 35C, a dual-energy X-ray detector created byKA Imaging, follows clearance from the Food and Drug Administration in the United States earlier this month.
