MARS Bioimaging's large bore spectral scanner currently in development creates detailed 3D, full-color X-rays, allowing surgeons to peek inside a patient's body without having to operate, BGR reported.
Here’s what you need to know:
1. The MARS scanner works through using pixel detectors that relay color information while also providing rapid imaging.
2. The technology may allow surgeons to more accurately plan for operations, resulting in quicker recovery times for patients and more accurate care plans.
3. The system has been in development for over a decade by father and son team Phil and Anthony Butler, who are working toward full commercial rollout of the system.
