Technology to reveal dangerous changes in blood pressure during delicate brain surgery is under development.
The British project could make complex operations safer, New Scientist magazine reports.
It relies on a combination of scans and massive computing power to predict how the brain's blood vessels will respond to surgery.
The brain is supplied by a complex tangle of tiny blood vessels, and a surgeon who wants to deal with an abnormality must navigate through these.
The University College London team said the simulation could one day spot those at highest risk of a fatal aneurysm. BBC News |
