VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland has developed a
lightweight, handheld, ultra-precision hyperspectral camera for the detection
of skin cancers and their precursors. From the surface of the skin, the camera
recognises early stages of cancer that are invisible to the naked eye.
Collaborators in the pilot study are the University of Jyväskylä, the
Päijät-Häme Central Hospital and the Skin and Allergy Hospital of Helsinki
University Central Hospital. The preliminary results are promising.
