                Authors' objectives:
                WavSTAT4 Optical Biopsy System® has been developed by SpectraScience for the real time diagnosis of pre-cancerous colon polyps (≤5mm). WavSTAT4® uses laser-induced autofluroescence to obtain an objective, in vivo analysis of polyps during colonoscopy.
