Scientists at the University of Manchester in the UK have developed a portable scanner that uses radio frequency technology to detect breast cancer.
The scanner analyses dielectric contrasts between normal and diseased breast tissue to produce real-time images on a computer screen that indicate the presence of tumours – benign and malignant.
The presence of a tumour, or other abnormalities, is indicated by a red dot on the computer screen, and malignant tumours will appear differently than benign ones.
