Ex-vivo and intraoperative workflows. a Ex-vivo workflow from generation of spectra by mass spectrometry (MS) analysis of surgical aerosol through to model building by multivariate statistics leading to ex-vivo recognition of tissue in real time. b Intraoperative workflow from generation of spectra in real time by on-line MS analysis, through to determination of margin status by histopathological assessment and correlation to iKnife results
