Currently, the majority of speech recognition systems use remote servers, which […] >>

Prostate biopsies, which are performed if a cancerous tumor is suspected, could become more accurate and reliable thanks to a new fluorescence imaging technique. Leti researchers partnered with academic scientists and an SME to develop a new fluorescent marker coupled with a combined optical-ultrasound probe. The system renders any tumors visible for priority sampling during […] >>
