A new 3-in-1 imaging pen able to identify suspected skin cancer lesions could help to reduce the number of unnecessary biopsies.
The pen-sized device, developed by a team from the University of Texas at Austin, uses Raman spectroscopy, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy simultaneously to inspect the skin tissue and detect cancer. The test takes about five seconds to complete, and the images are processed by a computer.
The pen is the first of its kind to combine all three cancer-detecting techniques into a single device that is inexpensive enough to be used in most clinics.
