AI-enabled photonic system for early lung cancer detection using near-infrared transillumination and parenchymal organ imaging
Photonics
Sensing Technologies
The project combines near-infrared photonic imaging with AI-based image analysis to develop an endoscopically compatible system supporting early identification of suspicious changes in lung tissue. The solution uses transillumination without ionizing radiation and automated image evaluation.
