Cancer is the leading cause of death in Canada, and skin cancer is one of the common types of the disease.Fortunately, the detection of skin cancer is comparatively easy since in most cases the symptoms can berecognized on visual inspection of the skin. However, limited access to dermatologists and long wait times forroutine consultation are the main constraints for early diagnosis of skin cancer, which is key to a successfultreatment. To address this problem, MetaOptima has developed MoleScope, a low-cost, smart skin imagingsystem. The MoleScope has an optical setup that attaches to a smartphone to acquire high-quality magnifiedimages. Using a MoleScope, patients can monitor and track changes in their skin moles and obtain rapidevaluations of cancer risk by sending the images of suspect skin lesions to their dermatologist.The aim of this project is to modify the current successful optical setup of the MoleScope device to improvethe quality and resolution of the images by suppressing optical aberrations and stray reflections. We will alsodesign and develop a new optical magnifier system with a choice of magnification including a highermagnification capability. The result of this project will allow the MoleScope to be used to examine a broaderrange of medically relevant structures with improved accuracy.

癌症是加拿大死亡的主要原因，皮肤癌是该疾病的常见类型。不幸的是，对皮肤癌的检测相对容易，因为在大多数情况下，症状可以在对皮肤的目视检查时被识别出来。但是，对皮肤科医生的访问有限，而漫长的等待时间是对皮肤癌的早期诊断的主要限制，这是成功治疗的关键。为了解决这个问题，Metaoptima开发了Molescope，这是一种低成本的智能皮肤成像系统。 Molescope的光学设置附加到智能手机上，以获取高质量的放大图。使用Molescope，患者可以通过将可疑皮肤病变的图像发送给其皮肤科医生来监测和跟踪其皮肤痣的变化，并获得癌症风险的RapideValuations。该项目的目的是通过抑制光学异常和曲线反射来改善图像的质量和分辨率，以改善Molescope设备的成功光学设置。我们将Alsodesign并开发一个具有放大倍率（包括HigherMagnification能力）的新的光学放大器系统。该项目的结果将允许Molescope以提高准确性来检查医学相关结构的宽阔。
