Description
Francesco Di Matteo and co-authors test, in a 2024 study, a microscope that reads lung biopsy samples at the bedside, minutes after they are taken. Ultrasound-guided needle samples from the chest are usually judged by rapid staining or after days of lab processing. The new device images fresh, unfixed tissue digitally, with no slide preparation at all. Thirty-two patients gave samples during ultrasound endoscopy procedures.
The instant images judged sample adequacy exactly as the final lab work did, case for case. On the key question, cancer or not, the agreement was also perfect: twenty of the twenty-eight adequate samples were read as malignant by both routes. Because the tissue survives imaging untouched, nothing is lost for full testing later. The authors expect the device to compress the path from sampling to a firm diagnosis, at first staging and at later checks alike.
