Initial trials showed the ability of identifying pathological lesions using visible light

waves, unlike the existing methods of imaging. This innovative and affordable

technology provides low cost and broad access for early detection of colon cancer,

which is the second most common cancer according to the World Health

Organization. Early detection increases considerably likelihood of cure.

5.Discussion

A 2-D prototype was built using an Arduino Uno controller containing LED lightings,

sensors, and a Bluetooth platform. The printed circuit was designed in

collaboration with Rafael Halfon, and produced in China.
