A new handheld hybrid imaging device.
Alongside teaching responsibilities, Dr. Ravi is actively engaged in inventing a new handheld hybrid imaging device for Sentinel Node Navigation Surgery: continuing the line of work that produced SAIGC and SAIGC-Torch.
The immediate objective remains what it has always been: make the instrument smaller, make it faster, and make it available in the room where the surgical decision is actually taken.
