• Research summary

  Narrow band imaging (NBI) can reveal specific blood vessel pattern in tumour which is absent in normal tissue. Using complex computer algorithm (neural network) clinical images can be analysed to provide information for clinician about the likelihood of a cancer diagnosis. Meanwhile, the system will continue to learn and evolve as more data is collected to generate a more accurate result.
