Biosciences Incorporation, develope near-infrared trans-illumination methods. The optical
imaging tool that can determine acute sinusitis and the response to treatment therapy.
In the United States, approximately one in seven people develop sinusitis each year, and 20
million cases of acute bacterial sinusitis become chronic to require medical treatment. The
optic light from the illumination wand travelled through the pallet into the sinuses and
exited the face. The optic device can determine air-filled and fluid/tissue-filled spaces in
the sinus cavity during clinical exam.
