In this episode of the "Southern Medicine Podcast," J. Quincy Brown, PhD, and Randy Glick, BSB/PM, MCP discuss the state of the art in next-generation surgical pathology imaging methods for fresh-tissue histology, as well as the need and requirements for intraoperative tumor margin imaging systems. Another topic detailed is the integration of imaging hardware and AI for clinical decision making.

Dr. J. Quincy Brown is a Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Tulane University and is a biomedical engineer whose career has been focused on the development and translation of light-based sensing and imaging technologies in medicine. Recently, he and his team were selected as an awardee of the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) Precision Surgical Interventions program. The project, called MAGIC-SCAN, is seeking to develop an end-to-end, human + AI collaborative rapid microscopic scanner for comprehensive pathologic imaging of resected tumors in the operating room.
