Abstract:
Researchers at National Nanotechnology Center (NANOTEC) have designed a prototype digital colposcopy system for cervical cancer diagnosis known as INSpectDx. The portable system can display, record, and transmit images during the diagnosis process.
Cervical cancer detection goes portable
Pathumthani, Thailand | Posted on August 25th, 2015“Hospital and clinics in rural areas often lack the necessary tools and equipment to detect and analyze cervical cancer in their early stages” said Dr. Kittipong Tantisantisom, a researcher at Integrated Nanosystem Lab at NANOTEC. “The imaging data produced by the portable colposcopy will allow doctors in rural areas to transmit visual images via wireless communication and analyzed the prognosis in real time with their counterparts in the city, resulting in fast and efficient treatment for the patients”.
A soft launch of INSpectDx was conducted recently at Thai Medi Fair from August 18-20 in Bangkok to potential investors. In addition, the prototype will be presented to the Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital Mahidol University for further field testing.
Collaborator on this project included members of the Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University.
