MSCTR | Cancer Research |Translational Research
The Dual Mode Imaging Probe is a portable, point-of-care device designed to support early identification and risk assessment of oral lesions in both community and clinical settings. It integrates white light imaging (WLI) and autofluorescence imaging to enable visualization of tissue changes that may not be apparent during routine examination.
As developed in collaboration with Karkinos Healthcare Pvt. Ltd., this enhances scalability and deployment for large-scale screening programs.
Early identification of high-risk oral lesions
Reduced dependence on specialist availability
Designed for point-of-care and outreach settings
A field-ready app that enables oral cancer screening, image capture, and secure data sharing even in low-resource settings.
