New Laser-Based Endoscope for Bladder Cancer

July 2, 2020

European researchers are developing a new endoscope that uses multi-wavelength lasers to scan for the early signs of bladder cancer.

The project, called AMPLITUDE, will develop a new imaging system that will instantly provide detailed information on a tumor’s stage and grade. The system works by using infrared light to visualize deep inside the tissue.

The project is being coordinated by researchers at Finland’s Tampere University, and it includes photonics specialists from across Europe.
