The current method of breast cancer detection, as many women who have had the procedure is a little medieval. Take your tit, squash it flat in a machine and blast it with x-rays. With this new portable machine, developed by Zhipeng Wu of the University of Manchester, all you do is dip your boob in the boob cup and it uses microwaves to achieve the same result.
[…]concerned patients can receive real-time video images in using the radio frequency scanner which would clearly and simply show the presence of a tumour.
Not only is this a quicker and less-intrusive means of testing, it also means women can be tested at GP surgeries, which could help dramatically reduce waiting times and in some cases avoid unnecessary X-ray mammography. The scanner could also be used at home for continuous monitoring of breast health.
The patented real-time radio frequency scanner uses computer tomography and works by using the same technology as a mobile phone, but with only a tiny fraction of its power.
