Patent number: 10973456Abstract: This invention provides a non-invasive diagnosis system that is not only capable of producing high-resolution, three-dimensional images of abnormalities of tissue growth inside the body but, it can also detect the type of abnormalities and their location using multispectral imaging techniques. It is possible to provide a portable, non-invasive device that is handheld and with which a person may use to screen themselves for early detection of skin cancer without the need to visit a physician. As the present invention uses broadband sources and/or multiple coherent sources, secondary factors such as oxygen metabolism or blood volume associated with the cancer tissues could also be detected to provide further verification of the type. This invention would raise the accuracy of diagnosis and reduce the rate of false positives and false negatives.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2015Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: BANPIL PHOTONICS INC.Inventor: Achyut Kumar Dutta
