A Novel, Low-Cost, Handheld 3D Imaging System for Improved Screening for Cervical Neoplasia in Resource-Limited Settings

"CervImage™, developed by Pensievision, Inc., is an accessible, simple, cost-effective, early detection imaging technology for preventing cervical cancer deaths caused by a lack of screening.~The novel device is a simple-to-operate, point-of-care, all-focus, 3D-imaging device, with clinical relevance to early-stage detection and prevention of cervical cancers. CervImage's proprietary 3D-rendering software, incorporating strategies previously used for high resolution imaging with NASA telescopes, can quantify tissue color, volume and shape. Virtual navigation tools and all-focus imaging enable straightforward use by minimally trained personnel; expert personnel can also benefit from shorter setup times.~The research procedure and evaluation will be incorporated into the scheduled annual pap smear exam or colposcopic gynecologic exam that involves using a vaginal speculum."
