Real-time intra-operative analysis improved diagnostic outcomes, providing rapid feedback during surgeries.
Of 47 specimens, 94% yielded interpretable images, affirming the feasibility of the Histolog® method.
The confocal microscopy approach matched gold standard diagnoses in 68% of cases, demonstrating significant accuracy.
This method highlights potential for enhancing brain tumour surgery outcomes, with future exploration into machine learning.
