VELscope®
Enhanced oral cancer screening.
The VELscope® Vx Oral Assessment System, or simply VELscope®, is an easy-to-use handheld device that is used as an adjunct to a dentist’s comprehensive oral examination.
It uses natural tissue fluorescence to enhance the dentist’s ability to detect abnormalities in the mouth that are often invisible to the naked eye.
Non-invasive & painless.
Screening with VELscope is non-invasive, painless, and takes only a few minutes to complete.
VELscope uses a fluorescence visualization technology which emits a safe blue light into the mouth.
Advanced technology.
When utilizing the VELscope, normal fluorescence patterns typically appear as a bright green color, indicating that the fluorophores in the tissues of the oral mucosa are responding normally when exposed to blue light.
Enhanced assessment.
If we see a suspicious area, we can photograph it for future comparison or, if need be, referred to an oral surgeon for a biopsy or further tests.
