In Vivo Identification of Peripheral Nerve Bundles During Surgery Using Optical Spectroscopy Techniques - a Pilot Study
The aim of this pilot study is to prove that an investigational optical spectroscopy system
can provide accurate identification of nerve tissue during surgery.
Primary Objective:
The goal of this pilot study is to evaluate whether optical spectroscopy is able to
differentiate between nerve tissue and surrounding tissue.
Secondary Objective:
During the measurement procedure, possible improvements of the measurement hardware will be
recorded and the handling of the optical spectroscopy system during surgery will be
evaluated.
Observational
Observational Model: Case-Only, Time Perspective: Cross-Sectional
