Gigapixel Camera, an Innovation for Skin Cancer Treatment

The modern technology and habits have blessed as well as ruined the life of the human being. The contamination in environment and eatables has spread hell lot of diseases out of which the most critical and almost incurable attack comes as cancer. The study shows that the total number of deaths caused by cancer in 2012 was around 14 million adults. The scientists, doctors and engineers have started working for this thing and prepared a Gigapixel camera which can detect the infection of skin cancer. The structure of the alleged camera combines many micro units in it to get on the respective job.

The Gigapixel camera under process is a combination of around 34 micro cameras placed in a single unit to picture out the spot of infection over the human skin. Being a Gigapixel camera, it can snap down the ultra high resolution images showing each and every spot of the skin. This will help doctors to detect the spots of infection which can’t be seen through naked eyes. It would be a great innovation in the medical and technical streams if the prototype came into operation. This will also ensure saving lives of a good share of people suffering from cancer by curing the same in skin’s perspective.

As per the study co-author Daniel Marks of Duke University in North Carolina, the gigapixel camera can detect the virus at the early stage of the disease and this increases the chances of curing the same. It detects the wounds or lesions over the skin which shows the signs of cancer at quite an initial age of the disease. This was not possible with the current apparatuses and equipments. The job of dermatologists will become faster and easier to save the patient’s life than the current fashion.

The special attraction of the camera is it is composed of 34 micro cameras and each camera has a separate controlling mechanism. A computer system will do the rest of the things for the detection of spots with the requirement of major attention.  The presentation of research is about to happen on 18tha and 19^th October, 2014 at the Optical Society’s 98^th Annual Meeting at Tucson, Arizona.
