Emory Researchers Secure Up to $17.6 Million from ARPA-H for Innovative AI Research in Cancer Surgery
- Emory University and Winship Cancer Institute have received a funding award of up to $17.6 million from the ARPA-H to develop innovative AI-driven surgical practices for cancer patients.
- MarginCall uses Fluorescence Imitating Brightfield Imaging (FIBI) to evaluate surgical margins during operations and assess whether cancerous cells have been entirely removed.
- Developers hope MarginCall will significantly enhance patient outcomes and address challenges associated with surgical precision for cancer patients.
- The MarginCall system will operate independent of an on-site pathologist, providing high-resolution images of surgical margins in near-real-time.
- Emory University researchers, Anant Madabhushi and Farzad Fereidouni, will lead the project and introduce technological advancements in surgery, imaging, pathology, AI, and medicine.
- Novel technological approaches aim to enhance the surgical process and offer a cost-effective alternative to traditional methods.
- The new imaging technology promises to democratize advanced cancer care, especially in regions where access to specialized pathologists is limited.
- Initial research focuses on breast and ovarian cancers but hopes to eventually broaden in the future.
- MarginCall brings together experts in imaging, AI and medical technology to foster innovation and discovery.
- Through this initiative, the team aims to not only advance surgical oncology but enhance the quality of life for cancer patients and bring a new age of patient care that is increasingly efficient, accurate, and accessible.
