Three Onera researchers have been working on the development of a medical imaging device. It is based on the principle of dynamic speckle imaging, enhanced by a polarimetric filter. This device, called the “Vasculoscope”, provides images of microvascular activity under the skin at unprecedented depths. With the aim of bringing this device to market, they have co-founded the start-up ITAE Medical Research at the end of 2019. The main applications envisaged include the early detection of skin cancers (melanoma, carcinoma), the monitoring of skin pathologies involving microvascular abnormalities, and support during cardiac surgery. In order to establish correlations between physiological parameters and the image of microvascular activity, the project aims to quantify the imaged parameter and demonstrate its reliability.
