      The device developed by Russian scientists will help reduce the time for diagnosis. Thus, the result of a laboratory study is usually ready in three to seven days. Complex diagnostic equipment and a laboratory are also required. The new method in the future will allow you to make a diagnosis directly during the procedure in real time.

 

      The device used for diagnostics consists of a polychromatic radiation source, a radiation supply and collection system, a spectrum analyzer, and a computer. A distinctive feature is that it contains two sources of monochromatic light radiation. The computer is equipped with a neural network module that allows processing the received data and recognizing tissues during the procedure.

 

      According to scientists, for more productive operation of the device, the neural network training project will require the creation of a large database of optical properties of neoplasms, which will require installing it in a number of medical institutions. In the near future, work is planned to include the device in clinical practice.
