Development and testing of a smartphone adapter for image quality assurance and whole slide imaging
When running large trials, histopathology services are used to assess the state of a tissue. However, in many clinics in low resource settings there are large variations in quality of such services, specifically in biopsy processing and histopathological interpretation/assessment of images. Quality assurance (QA) is needed, but it involves physically mailing slides to a remote clinic. A telemedicine solution can address this challenge.
Assessing changes in oxygen saturation using a low cost multi-spectral imaging system
SPIE Digital Library. Read Original > Abstract. A multi-spectral imaging system was built from low cost components: LEDs and an area-scan camera, that are all housed within a case and controlled by a tablet computer. The system can capture images of tissue at 14...
Low-Cost Instructional Apparatus to Improve Training for Cervical Cancer Screening and Prevention
NOTE: Using the EVA System to visualize and document the instruction with the cervical cancer instructional apparatus.
Cervical cancer screening through a cloud-based algorithmic analysis of cervical images on a mobile platform
DOWNLOAD POSTER > Background: For decades, the search for an accurate, low cost, and portable cervical cancer screening test was elusive. The best screening test today – self-sampled HPV tests – has higher negative predictive value than positive...Comparison of Visual and Cytology Cervical Cancer Screening in Maharashtra, India
DOWNLOAD POSTER > Background: The feasibility of using a smartphone-based mobile colposcope for visual cervical cancer screening in urban India was assessed. First, visual screening was compared to standard of care cytology in a hospital-based setting. Thereafter,...Portable, low-cost multispectral imaging system: design, development, validation, and utilization
READ THE FULL ARTICLE > Abstract: Optical spectral images can be used to estimate the amount of bulk absorbers in tissues, specifically oxy- and deoxyhemoglobin, as well as scattering parameters. Most systems that capture spectral image data are large, heavy, and...Comparison of mobile colposcopic impression to cytology and HPV results in a high-risk US population
DOWNLOAD POSTER > Background: The mobile and online-connected EVA System colposcope allows providers to capture and annotate colposcopic images, connect for a live consultation, or observe beginning colposcopists remotely for quality assurance. An analysis was done...Protocol for the study of cervical cancer screening technologies in HIV-infected women living in Rwanda
READ OR DOWNLOAD FULL STUDY > Introduction. The optimal method(s) for screening HIV-infected women, especially for those living in sub-Saharan Africa, for cervical precancer and early cancer has yet to be established. Methods and analysis. A convenience sample...
