Master Colors has filed an international patent, in a joint venture with Ontario Beach Systems, for a method used for the early detection of cancer.
Master Colors has joined forces with former Rochester Institute of Technology professor, Ed Granger, to objectively identify early stage tumours and reduce false positives and negatives in the diagnostic process.
This most recent intellectual property filing is entitled 'A Method and Apparatus for Uniquely Identifying Tissue Pathology'.
It relates generally to the area of medical imaging technology and specifically to applying colour to images generated by medical imaging devices for the purpose of more clearly distinguishing pathological tissue from normal tissues in humans.
The anticipated end result will be a process to detect cancerous tissue at an earlier stage of development.
Master Colors' technology affords the capability to precisely quantify colour relationships based on visual contrast.
The company is currently seeking capital to facilitate bringing this medical imaging technology to fruition.
