Description |
An in vivo Raman endoscopic probe and methods for use. Includes a novel method for detecting both a Raman spectroscopy signal with a background near-infrared background auto-fluorescence signal. Detection of these dual signals provides a superior method for detecting cancers including cancers of the skin.
Potential Applications |
o Applicable to endoscopic systems
o Improved skin cancer detection and diagnosis
o Improved lung cancer detection and diagnosis
o Improved cervical cancer detection and diagnosis
o Applicable to other diseases that can be detected by optical means
State of Development |
Advantages |
o Novel Raman device
o Improved cancer detection sensitivity and specificity
o Use of dual modalities is superior to use of any single approach.
o Validated in preclinical studies
Opportunity |
BCCA is seeking non-exclusive or exclusive licensing agreement with a commercial partner. Research collaboration opportunity available.
