About the project:

This multidisciplinary project concerns the application of optical technologies in medicine. The project plans to adapt a proprietary technology that provides single-pinch monochromatic spectral imaging at multiple wavelengths (SMSLI – Snapshot Multi-Spectral-Line Imaging) to adapt skin neoplasm for contactless diagnostics. A new prototype device that will rapidly (<2s) capture 4 monochromatic skin images at different wavelengths as well as skin fluorescence image at 405 nm excitation will be developed and clinically tested. The image analysis software will allow operative mapping of the distribution of the 4 major skin chromophores and facilitate identification of neoplasms (including skin cancers). Expected impact on society – improved healthcare.
