🧠 A team from 🇳🇱 @umcutrecht.bsky.social and 🇳🇱 @tue.nl has developed a new method to monitor #blood flow in the #brain to detect the risk of a #stroke during #surgery sooner – and potentially prevent it. This could also be useful for other types of operations, such as kidney transplants.

Monitoring brain blood flow during surgery to prevent stroke

Thanks to a new technique, neurosurgeons at UMC Utrecht have been able to watch the blood flow in brain tissue live during surgery for the first time.
