 Melanoma Identification
Commercialisation
CSIRO's Biotech Imaging software for detecting melanoma has been
incorporated into SolarScan, which is now commercially available from
Polartechnics.
SolarScan was launched by Australian Federal Science Minister, The Hon Peter McGauran
MP in 2002 at Sydney's famous Bondi Beach.
SolarScan is now in use in doctor's surgeries in Australia with plans for
international export well advanced. Product enquiries about SolarScan and
where it is in use should be directed to
Polartechnics.
"In developing its skin
cancer detection product, SolarScan, Polartechnics required leading edge
image analysis expertise to complement its own research group. After
reviewing expertise around the world, we found that world best expertise was
in our own backyard at CSIRO"
Victor Skladnev, Polartechnics
