Scientists create app that can see cancer in the eyes of kids

Doctors look for leukocoria in children's check-ups, but it can also be spotted in photographs. When light reflects on the retinal blood vessels and vascular layer of the eye, the pupils glow red. But in those with the previously mentioned conditions, the pupil can appear white or a yellowy-orange color.

"A parent, and their camera, are the first line of defense in screening and preventing these deaths," he said."Every parent should have an app for leukocoria detection. So mom and dad, take lots of pictures, and if there is a problem, this app will probably catch it." The researcher was inspired to create the app after his son Noah was diagnosed with retinoblastoma in his both eyes at 4 months old.

Shaw went on:"For me, studying pediatric eye disorders, like retinal cancer, is challenging because my 11-year-old child is still dealing with the life-long effects of bilateral retinoblastoma.

Well tell to stop dicking around and invent a working hoverboard!

Take that Alabama!

Ummm...

this is not accurate.. and results cannot be trusted.

Next they should create an app to detect cancer in the body. A scanner app like a CT scan and of course a CURE in the form of ONE PILL!

Scientists should find the cure , not new tools to find clients for Big pharma....
