Low-cost and label-free blue light cystoscopy through digital staining of white light cystoscopy videos
In short, dsWLC can affordably provide the fluorescent contrast needed to improve the detection sensitivity of bladder cancer, thereby increasing the accessibility of BLC contrast for bladder cancer surveillance. The broader implications of this work suggest digital staining is a cost-effective alternative to contrast-based endoscopy for other clinical scenarios outside of urology that can democratize access to better healthcare.
