Sensor Aboard Proba-V Satellite to Help Detect Skin Cancers
 Velcro and pressurized pens are a repeated lore of the tech**logies that have come out of space programs, but many devices originally developed to orbit around Earth have made even more impact on the people below than Velcro. **w a new example of such translational research has led to a Sensor created for the**European Space Agency’s Proba-V Satellite being tested for use in detecting Skin cancers. The camera Aboard the Proba-V scans vegetation, detecting subtle variations in the health of the plants using both visual and near-infrared detectors. Because the satellite*was designed to scan the entire Earth every*couple of days, the resolution and sensitivity of the sensors is quite incredible. Near-infrared has been used for a number of years already in helping to find and assess Skin lesions, but the Sensor within the Proba-V Satellite is substantially more capable than any similar device previously developed. Xenics, the*Belgian company that developed the sensor, is **w testing the device for clinical applications, hopefully leading to the fact that a vegetation Satellite will have led to the early detection of thousands of cancer cases. More from the European Space Agency: The Proba-V camera captures a 2250 km-wide picture of the land below on every sweep, made possible by Xenics’ 3072-pixel line sensor. Unlike conventional rectangular detectors, like those used in consumer digital cameras, this Sensor captures information one line at a time, which it can do very rapidly. It builds up a complete imageas the target moves past– more efficient for imaging rapid objects on production lines.Source: European Space Agency… (hat tip: Gizmodo) The post Sensor Aboard Proba-V Satellite to Help Detect Skin Cancers appeared first on Medgadget. ??????? ??????: Sensor Aboard Proba-V Satellite to Help Detect Skin Cancers || ??????: rss || ??????: اسم منتداك
