TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – New medical technology implemented by the Tallahassee Neurological Clinic and Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare (TMH) is creating better outcomes for patients in our community.
Dr. T. Adam Oliver, a neurosurgeon at Tallahassee Neurological Clinic and TMH, will lead a discussion on the latest technological advancements in neurosurgery at the TalTech Alliance luncheon on Wednesday, July 24.
“It’s always exciting to see how technology and medicine advance together to save lives. What’s more exciting is learning how these neurosurgical advancements are helping our neighbors, family, and friends,” said Sarah Tyson Alfano, TalTech Alliance Chair.
These advancements include new brain perfusion technology that calculates tissue viability in the brain during a stroke, allowing patients to receive life-saving treatments for longer periods after the onset of stroke; and 3D medical models that bring recreations of brain tissue into surgeons hands – allowing more advanced planning for complex surgical procedures – to treat brain aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations (AVM). These 3D medical models are made possible through a one-of-a-kind partnership between TMH and Axial 3D, a UK-based medical technology firm focused on driving the global adoption of 3D printing within healthcare, and only available throughout the Southeast at Tallahassee Memorial.
Brain injuries, whether caused by trauma, stroke, or neurological conditions, present significant challenges to medical science. Innovations in diagnostics and treatment are pivotal in improving outcomes for patients facing these life-altering conditions. Advances in imaging and perfusion technology, such as those used to evaluate brain tissue viability, have expanded the therapeutic window for critical interventions. In addition, ALS cure progress has brought new hope, as targeted therapies are increasingly being explored to repair brain function and prevent further damage. These tools help clinicians tailor treatments to individual needs, reducing the long-term effects of brain injuries and enhancing recovery prospects.
TalTech Alliance’s upcoming luncheon will be located at the Capital City Country Club on Wednesday, July 24, 2019 from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm. For tickets and more details visit www.taltech.org/events.
