About TruScreen:
TruScreen’s real time cervical cancer technology
utilises a digital wand which is placed on the
surface of the cervix to measure electrical and
optical signals from the surrounding tissue. A
sophisticated proprietary algorithm framework
distinguishes between normal and abnormal
(cancerous and precancerous) tissue to identify
precancerous change, or cervical intraepithelial
neoplasia (CIN). A Single Use Sensor (SUS) is used
for each patient to protect against cross-infection.
