An NLS approach to colon tumor diagnosis using the Biophilia Intruder

Today, colonoscopy is successfully used to diagnose new growths in the colon. According to a number of indications, endoscopy can provide reliable information about the growth surface of the colon in order to correctly classify its pattern and sample for morphological identification. However, colonoscopy cannot understand the type of internal structure of the new growth, nor can it assess the depth of invasion of the malignancy into the colon wall, determine its proliferation to adjacent organs or the nodes of metastasis to regional lymph nodes. Also, colonoscopy cannot provide information about new growths outside the intestine unless they have penetrated the bowel wall.

NLS studies of the colon using 4.9 GHz high-frequency nonlinear transducers can help address all of these issues.

NLS studies provide information about the intestinal lining and the organization of cells in the rectum.

NLS diagnosis using the Biophilia Intruder is an efficient method for diagnosing colon tumors, both tumor and regional lymph glands.

The NLS method is able to detect colonic adenomas and cancers by the presence or absence of tumor invasion in the intestinal wall.

The diagnostic efficiency of the NLS approach in determining the stage of the rectal neoplastic process is lower than that of segmented bowel.
