VELscope is a revolutionary hand-held device that provides us with an easy-to-use adjunctive mucosal examination system for the early detection of abnormal tissue. The patented VELscope technology platform was developed in collaboration with the British Columbia Cancer Agency and MD Anderson Cancer Center, with funding provided in part by the National Institute of Health. It is based on the direct visualization of tissue fluorescence and the changes in fluorescence that occurs when abnormalities are present.
