VELscope Oral
Cancer Screening

The VELscope system is a revolutionary hand-held device that uses a safe blue light for the early detection of abnormal tissue. Under examination with the VELscope® System, abnormal tissue typically appears as an irregular, dark area that stands out against the otherwise normal, green fluorescence pattern of surrounding healthy tissue.

Pre-malignant changes actually start below the surface, at the basement membrane. These changes may not be apparent to the naked eye until the disease progresses to the surface. The VELscope system is able to detect below-the-surface abnormalities.

The procedure is very quick and completely painless. Dr. Davidson can immediately view if there is any abnormal tissue.
