GLOW400
GLOW400 AR Fluorescence Application for Brain Tumor Surgery
Resection of brain tumor tissue can be challenging, even for experienced neurosurgeons. GLOW400 AR fluorescence application can support you in making more confident surgical decisions during suspected grade III and IV glioma surgeries. With advanced multispectral imaging technology, GLOW400 allows you to visualize clearer anatomical structures in 3D and observe a wider range of fluorescence intensities, so you can stay focused and see previously less visible tumor tissues.
AR Fluorescence Application for Brain Tumor Surgery
Transform your tumor visualization
See clearer anatomical details
The GLOW400 Anatomy view enhances visualization of the fluorescent-marked tumor and provides a clearer view of anatomical details around it. Now you can see what was previously hidden under a veil of blue light.
Reveal lower-intensity fluorescence signals
Get a better view of suspected grade III and grade IV glioma tissues with the GLOW400 Highlighted Fluorescence view, revealing a broader representation of fluorescence intensities, that you may have previously missed.
Stay focused
Choose how you want to view GLOW400. Enjoy all GLOW AR images directly in front of your eyes with superb 3D depth perceptions using the MyVeo all-in-one surgical headset, as well as a 3D heads-up monitor.
See clearer anatomical details surrounding the fluorescent-marked tumor
Enhanced visual information is essential to make precise and well-informed decisions during brain tumor surgery of suspected grade III and IV gliomas. The Anatomy view of the GLOW400 Augmented Reality fluorescence application combines the information of fluorescent and non-fluorescent tissues as well as anatomical structures—all in a single image in real time.

Advantages of the GLOW400 3D Anatomy view
- Augmenting the view of the fluorescence-marked tumor with an enhanced surrounding showing anatomical details
- Not having to recall the differences between the white light image and FL400 may reduce fatigue and minimize surgical interruptions
- Seeing more details such as vessels and bleeding that were previously hidden

Reveal lower-intensity fluorescence signals
During tumor resection, you are dependent on being able to repeatedly check for traces of remaining visible fluorescence, particularly lower-intensity fluorescence.
The GLOW400 Highlighted Fluorescence view transforms your visualization of suspected grade III and IV glioma tissues. Now you see what you may have previously missed.
With GLOW400, you can now reveal lower-intensity fluorescence signals. See previously less visible tumors in the Highlighted Fluorescence view, with a wider range of fluorescence intensities. GLOW400 image courtesy of Tim Jacquesson, MD, PhD Hospices Civils de Lyon, France.
Advantages of the GLOW400 AR fluorescence Highlighted Fluorescence view
- Broader representation of fluorescence intensities
- Enhanced visibility of low fluorescence signals to observe traces of remaining fluorescence
- Showing a pure fluorescence view on the monitor by separating fluorescent from non-fluorescent blue light signals, on a dark background

Toggle through multiple real-time GLOW400 views
Achieve a more comprehensive understanding of suspected grade III and grade IV glioma tissues by making comparisons of the information provided by the different views of the GLOW400.
With just a click on the microscope handle or the microscope’s footswitch, you can smoothly toggle through the mono and side-by-side views of GLOW400 Anatomy and HiFluo.
The combination of different views can reduce surgical interruptions and mental fatigue.
