Either way, kudos to the researchers who developed the technology!]]>Aug 20th 2008 11:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/colorizing-technology-highlights-cancerous-tissue/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/colorizing-technology-highlights-cancerous-tissue/Aug 20th 2008 11:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/colorizing-technology-highlights-cancerous-tissue/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/colorizing-technology-highlights-cancerous-tissue/]]>Aug 21st 2008 12:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/colorizing-technology-highlights-cancerous-tissue/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/colorizing-technology-highlights-cancerous-tissue/Aug 20th 2008 10:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/colorizing-technology-highlights-cancerous-tissue/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/colorizing-technology-highlights-cancerous-tissue/
That's why they treat using radiation following many treatments, even surgical removal of a cancer. They cut the visible bits off, and any tumour cells that are left behind are treated with radiation, which takes care of the cells they can't see.

So, no, it's not a photoshop. It's an actual scan and projection that's shown on the skin in real time.]]>Aug 20th 2008 11:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/colorizing-technology-highlights-cancerous-tissue/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/colorizing-technology-highlights-cancerous-tissue/Aug 20th 2008 11:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/colorizing-technology-highlights-cancerous-tissue/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/colorizing-technology-highlights-cancerous-tissue/Aug 21st 2008 12:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/colorizing-technology-highlights-cancerous-tissue/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/colorizing-technology-highlights-cancerous-tissue/Aug 21st 2008 1:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/colorizing-technology-highlights-cancerous-tissue/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/colorizing-technology-highlights-cancerous-tissue/
It is sad. I say we start thanking these guys through comments before they lose the drive to do research.

...I can almost imagine these guys feeling kinda bummed out when the Guitar Hero DS mod gets more attention than their life saying work.

So Thank You Massachusetts Researchers.]]>Aug 21st 2008 1:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/colorizing-technology-highlights-cancerous-tissue/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/colorizing-technology-highlights-cancerous-tissue/http://www.antivitiligo.com/. Any how this is the age of modern sciences and technology and such thing are possible. I think there is a need of more research on FLARE system to increase its utalization for other diseases.]]>Aug 21st 2008 12:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/colorizing-technology-highlights-cancerous-tissue/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/colorizing-technology-highlights-cancerous-tissue/Aug 21st 2008 2:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/colorizing-technology-highlights-cancerous-tissue/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/colorizing-technology-highlights-cancerous-tissue/Aug 21st 2008 5:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/colorizing-technology-highlights-cancerous-tissue/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/colorizing-technology-highlights-cancerous-tissue/
Nurse: But doctor! I haven't injected the dye yet!

Dr. Hibbert: Dear lord...]]>Aug 21st 2008 8:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/colorizing-technology-highlights-cancerous-tissue/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/colorizing-technology-highlights-cancerous-tissue/Aug 21st 2008 9:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/colorizing-technology-highlights-cancerous-tissue/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/colorizing-technology-highlights-cancerous-tissue/
I thought that radioactive dyes were used previously as a visualization method, kind of like x-ray. The problem is that wouldn't you need a large machine to see where the dyes have concentrated in the whole body rather than in just one area? I'm sure that if you were interested in only one area, you'd still have to have the machine to have the output for the doctor to see where the concentration is, which can't be easy to use for surgical procedures.

Removing cancerous tissue generally involves cutting around the tumor, which usually takes out a lot of healthy tissue as well; this technology will really reduce the amount of healthy tissue that is removed from a procedure, and probably will give cancer patients a higher percentage of certainty that all the tumor cells in that area are removed.

It's a step towards treating cancer...like everyone said, it's not a cure-all.]]>Aug 21st 2008 9:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/colorizing-technology-highlights-cancerous-tissue/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/colorizing-technology-highlights-cancerous-tissue/
Yes, it looks like a cancerous headcrab. But, the cancer fight tools people come up with. Its a win]]>Aug 21st 2008 1:20PM
