The product is undergoing clinical trials and could be on the market in less than two years, according to the company. Read more in this latest Oral Cancer & Diagnostics Community feature.
Also coming soon is DEXIS go, a new app that integrates many features of the DEXIS Imaging Suite with the image display attributes of the iPad to create an immersive case presentation experience. Click here to read details based on an exclusive interview with one of the developers.
