Fast and Accurate Diagnosis of Malaria Possible With New Optical Imaging System
Researchers have developed a new optical imaging system that may allow doctors to make an accurate and faster diagnosis of malaria.

Explaining the system, Charles Carignan, M.D., president and chief executive officer of NinePoint Medical, said, “The NvisionVLE Imaging System is the first and only volumetric, optical coherence tomography device cleared by the FDA for endoscopic imaging, and now imaging of esophageal tissue microstructure.”
