The development of biological tissue imaging techniques improve the detection of morphological changes in vivo, which can result in the earlier detection of diseases. Within Demcon Focal many of these biological tissue imaging techniques with state-of-the-art image analysis have been investigated and realized.

Among them are:

• Confocal microscope with a focusing system to record texture images of human skin. This information can be used by dermatologists to investigate skin cancer.
• Infrared Thermal Imaging for Automated Detection of Diabetic Foot Complications.
• Spectral imaging of skin bruises to objectively determine the age of the bruise.
