Real-time Molecular Diagnosis of Oral Precancer

The LIP device uses polarized Raman spectroscopy to enhance the early detection and diagnosis of oral cancer by facilitating more accurate guiding of biopsies. This non-invasive technology utilizes polarized laser light to generate Raman scattering that can be used to analyze molecular vibrations, which in the future will provide clinicians with insights into tissue composition and structure for identifying cancerous abnormalities.
