Improving the patient cancer experience: Multispectral (White Light/Autofluorescence/Raman) Needle Endoscopy for cancer diagnostics in breast and thyroid

We develop a facility for biopsy imaging guidance and treatment monitoring for breast and thyroid cancer using endoscopy through hollow superfine acupuncture size needle significantly reducing tissue destruction, pain and bleeding. Such an endoscope will employ advanced optical techniques such as Fluorescence and Raman spectroscopy to provide highly accurate allowing a small invasive examination at the time of consultation, early diagnostics, reducing number of biopsies and surgery.
