Beyond advocating how Google Glass will be utilized to provide surgeons with real-time imaging information during operations, neurosurgeons enthusiastically promoted key innovations in their respective fields. A novel laser technology that enables neurosurgeons to target near brain stem tumors, and other previously inoperable tumors due to location, is being accepted with excitement. The ultra-thing laser is capable of selectively heating up the tumor, thereby providing a heat map for the surgeon to destroy diseased tissue in a manner unimaginable hitherto.
