Multimodal Imaging Technology

Biochemical, morphological and structural changes occur in squamous epithelial tissues of the oral cavity, cervix and internal body linings, during cancer development. Conventional Oral Examination (COE) using white light is practiced in low-resource settings for screening and early detection of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the oral cavity. Whereas, for cervical cancer screening, Pap smear cytology is the standard practice. Both these techniques do not provide the desirable sensitivity and specificity for screening and early detection of cancer.

Challenges in Current Oral Cancer Screening Technologies

Clinically Validated, AI-Enabled Point-of-Care Cancer Screening Technology

We use a patented optical engine for uniform illumination of the tissue, blocking the surface reflections and collimation of diffusely reflected light emanating from the tissue through suitable optical filters.  We have built proprietary hardware and software to control sequential triggering of LEDs and synchronous image capture on a Windows environment. The captured images are processed and analyzed with the help of cloud-based machine learning algorithm to provide real-time user feedback.
