(Visually Enhanced Lesion Scope) We are just waiting for images from the company. It is a really interesting device which works on the natural occurring phenomenon of tissue fluorescence. Who would of guessed that all normal cells have the natural ability to glow when their molecules are excited by a very specific wavelength of light? If they do not glow, there is something wrong with the cell, perhaps cancer. Simple idea, that came to light (no pun) after tens of millions of dollars of research grants out of the NIH. There is a news article on the brand new device in the news section of the site. Besides its first introduction into the dental world of oral cancer, it is going to be used in cervical, colon, and elsewhere to look for lesions.
