Optical Detection: From Physicists to Physicians
Several companies formed in the 1990's are poised to validate the clinical potential of light-based diagnostics as they guide through clinical trials products for a wide variety of applications in cancer, dermatology, gastrointestinal and cardiovascular diseases. Developers of the new optical imaging technologies ultimately hope to improve the way physicians diagnose diseases, by enabling insight into conditions where detection is currently inadequate. They hope to improve outcomes by detecting diseases at earlier stages, before pathological changes become visible. Finally, they aim to develop non-invasive systems that offer rapid diagnosis at the point of care, so that physicians can see and treat patients in a single visit. For now, though, companies are approaching the market cautiously. Most have a strategy of getting their products approved for adjunctive applications rather than attempting to win approval for the devices as standalone diagnostic systems that replace current screening methods.
Cyrano Sciences Inc.
Cyrano Sciences' electronic olfaction technology simulates the nose's ability to sense chemicals present in vapors. The technology has a variety of industrial and medical applications such as point of care diagnostics. The company's "nose chips"--microarrays of sensors, could be built into diagnostic devices that can non-invasively detect conditions like bacterial infections of the ear.
LifeSpex Inc.
Diagnostics. LifeSpex is taking a different approach to the problem of cervical cancer detection. It is examining living tissue, using a non-invasive, point-of-care system that yields information about the source and location of abnormal tissue. {Cerviscan} uses {in vivo} fluorescence spectroscopy to measure the differences in the way abnormal and normal tissues absorb and emit light.
