Biophilia Tracker X3 for Oncological Urology
Today, urology is an area where 3D NLS imaging methods can also be widely used. However, until today, the application of 3D NLS methods in clinical practice will revolutionize our perspective on this issue. We believe that this problem is actually a local problem because most surgical patients undergo traumatic transurethral resection.
The application of 3D NLS studies with spectral entropy analysis performed by the Biophilia Tracker X3, performed during surgical incisions, allowed us to detect tumors in 37% of patients with other tumors not documented by 2D NLS studies. The application of a three-dimensional approach makes it possible to determine the extent of the tumor's local spread process; to control the depth of resection of the bladder wall; and to reduce the risk of complications during the incision.
Usually, the diagnosis and morphological verification of rectal cancer are not difficult. However, it is not always possible to assess the extent of organ wall invasion using standard diagnostic methods. Traditional two-dimensional NLS studies have been widely used as a diagnostic method for recurrent rectal cancer after organ removal. However, initial diagnosis of disease using 2D NLS imaging has been hampered for several reasons. First, given that the rectum is only partially visible on a 2D NLS scan (80% of the surface area of the entire organ).
The application of 3D NLS imaging can accurately distinguish all layers of the rectal wall, allowing the use of spectral entropy analysis to diagnose the depth of tumor invasion and determine the stage of the disease. This method facilitates the detection of lymph node changes greater than 1.5 mm in pararectal lymph node metastatic disease. During preoperative radiation monitoring, 3D NLS imaging helps to accurately detect reductions in tumor size; identify structural changes associated with medical morbidity; and determine reductions in tumor infiltration of pararectal tissue. Therefore, 3D NLS imaging can be considered as a method for the initial diagnosis of rectal cancer. It enables physicians to address the most important diagnostic questions related to identifying the length of the tumor process, the extent of local spread of the tumor, and monitoring the efficiency of preoperative treatment. In organ preservation surgery, three-dimensional NLS imaging can be an effective method for early diagnosis of recurrent tumors in the anastomotic region.
In conclusion, in terms of the characteristics of modern 3D NLS imaging methods, we would like to emphasize that this method can effectively meet the goals of detecting tumor changes, determining disease staging, and qualitatively evaluating treatment.
