Researchers at The School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences, UCL and UCH have developed a novel surgical needle tracking technology which for the first time identifies the tip of a needle during surgeries. The project is part of the seven-year research grant Guided Instrumentation for Fetal Therapy and Surgery (GIFT-Surg) also in collaboration with UZ Leuven and KU Leuven, which develops new surgical technology aiding in the treatment of congenital problems in the womb such as twin to twin transfusion syndrome and spina bifida.
