Applications

The Cytoscan® provides a convenient alternative to standard intravital microscopy. The instrument allows the clinician and researcher to directly observe and measure the microcirculation in human vascular beds. Clinical Research is being conducted to better understand the potential clinical applications of this technology. The following areas are particularly promising:

Anesthesiology
  • Tissue Perfusion
Orthopedic Surgery
  • Rotator Cuff Surgery
  • Knee Surgery
  • Necrotic Tissue Detection
  • Lipid Emboli Detection
Cardiac / Vascular Surgery
  • Emboli Detection
  • Anastomosis Patency
  • Inflammatory Response
  • Ischemia Reperfusion Injury
Critical Care
  • Shock Monitoring
Gastrointestinal
  • Crohn's Disease
  • Bowel Resections
Gynecology
  • Cervical Cancer Detection
Laparoscopic & Endoscopic
  • Necrotic Tissue Detection
  • Cancer Monitoring
Neurosurgery
  • Detecting microvasospasms
Transplant Surgery
  • Reperfusion of organs
