These lightweight, cost-effective goggles developed by Chair of Biomedical Engineering Samuel Achilefu, Ph.D., and his team use infrared fluorescence to help surgeons see and remove hidden cancer cells in real time. By overlaying glowing tumor margins directly onto the surgical field, the technology ensures more precise cancer removal and fewer repeat surgeries. Dr. Achilefu holds additional appointments in the Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center and Radiology.
