Both patients had severe brain injuries and had shown only limited signs of consciousness for more than a year. But after receiving the treatment — which […]
A team from the Gamma and Neutron Spectroscopy Group of the Corpuscular Physics Institute (IFIC) has patented a new device for real-time guided biopsies, with direct application in any type of cancer that requires a biopsy and whose process must be carried out using ultrasound. The system makes it possible to personalize the treatment, reduces […]
