The study, authored by Mitali Sakharkar, Gabriele Spokas, Lucas Berry, Kadesh Daniels, Pravarut Nithagon, Eladio Rodriguez-Diaz, Ph.D., Lauren Tracy, M.D., Jacob Pieter Noordzij, M.D., Irving Bigio, Ph.D., Gregory Grillone, M.D., and Gintas Krisciunas, MPH, MA, Ph.D., explores a novel approach to laryngeal cancer screening that utilizes elastic scattering spectroscopy (ESS). ESS &#8211; a novel technology developed by the Boston University <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/bmo\/\">Biomedical Optics Lab<\/a> &#8211; uses light refraction patterns and artificial intelligence to distinguish between human tissue types. The technology is advantageous because it&#8217;s non-invasive, produces results in real-time, and can be built into devices that are easily operable by non-specialists. For example, ESS lies at the core of <a href=\"http:\/\/dermasensor.com\">DermaSensor<\/a> devices used by primary care physicians to screen for skin cancer.<\/p>\n<p>You can read the full study at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0196070924003673?via%3Dihub\">ScienceDirect<\/a>.
