Prof's research uses AI to revolutionize cancer diagnosis
Waterloo Engineering researchers have invented a digital medical imaging system that significantly improves the cancer detection process to deliver immediate results.
Led by Dr. Parsin Haji Reza, a professor in Waterloo’s Department of Systems Design Engineering, the research team has developed the Photon Absorption Remote Sensing (PARS) system, a built-from-scratch technology that is faster than traditional cancer-detection methods and aims to deliver a diagnosis in minutes — enabling prompt surgical intervention.
