2022 Case Studies
Ever since the WHO updates on the TB screening guidelines, the global effort to scale up and implement portable digital X-ray systems and CAD has been tremendous. The inclusion of Delft Light & CAD4TB in the Diagnostics Catalogue of the StopTB Partnership’s Global Drug Facility and Wambo/PFSCM has furthered the accessibility and deployment of these new tools worldwide.
We support our partners with cutting-edge solutions, like ultra-portable X-ray systems and CAD4TB, to perform rapid and accurate screening for TB.
