Measuring blood content, oxygen saturation, and scattering in cervical tissues using multi-spectral imaging

Objective: Optical detection systems have potential to address challenges in cervical cancer care. Compact, inexpensive light sources, sensors, and wireless internet connectivity are ubiquitous. It is possible to build mobile multi-spectral...

Characterization of cervigram image sharpness using multiple self-referenced measurements and random forest classifiers

Abstract: Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women worldwide and is especially prevalent in low resource settings due to lack of screening and treatment options. Visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) is a widespread and...

A Digital Framing Ring for Stabilizing Cervix Location in Digital Cervicography Images

Objective: Visualization and digital documentation are critical to many cervical cancer programs worldwide. Practitioner competency remains a major limitation of visualization-based programs....

Statistics on Clinical Activities and Practices of Cervical Cancer Clinics in Kenya

Objective: Without national screening program and cancer registries, it is difficult for cervical cancer programs to make operational and policy decisions. To improve resource allocation and training, Liger Medical will continue to...

Cloud-based processing of multispectral imaging data

Abstract: Multispectral imaging holds great promise as a non-contact tool for the assessment of tissue composition. Performing multispectral imaging on a handheld mobile device would allow to bring this technology and...

Measurement and evaluation of digital cervicography programs in two cervical cancer screening camps in East Africa

Abstract: Cervical cancer disproportionately affects women living in low- and middle-income countries. To address this global crisis, many governments and NGOs have implemented community-based screening and treatment programs at outreach...

Real-Time Monitoring and Evaluation of a Visual-Based Cervical Cancer Screening Program Using a Decision Support Job Aid

Abstract: In many developing nations, cervical cancer screening is done by visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA). Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of such screening programs is challenging. An enhanced visual assessment (EVA) system was...

Mobile colposcopy in urban and underserved suburban areas in Baja California

Abstract: Cervical cancer is the leading cause of cancer death for women in low resource settings, often affecting the most economically disenfranchised segment of the population. The key challenge with cervical cancer is the...

Remote quality assurance in cervical cancer screening in low-resource settings using a handheld smartphone-based colposcope

Abstract: Cervical cancer is a leading cause of cancer death for women all across the developing world, where much of the infrastructure required for effective cervical cancer screening is unavailable because of limited resources. One of the...
