The advent of portable scanner breast size such as meals and convenience

According to the United States the Sing Tao Daily Roundup, breast cancer awareness month just ended, the United States University of Manchester (University of Manchester) electrical and electronic engineering provides some encouraging news.

Chinese Zhipeng Wu (transliteration: Charles Peng) Professor successfully developed a portable breast scan machine that accepts real-time scanning of patients can see from the image on the display, clear the display found. Neoplasms

This is like a lunch box size scanner uses similar mobile radio frequency technology, but much lower power.

This instrument allows the doctor to have an operation for real-time detection, even for patients at home on their own continuous monitoring.

Now go to the hospital or clinics for breast cancer detection of process will not easily and intrusive.

The more common method is breast X light and shadow, but detection accuracy of great disparities, 50 years of women with higher accuracy, younger accuracy may be reduced to 60%. Wu Professor used do not have to take two tablets breast clip X Lightguide plate, but rather use a connection to a laptop and more comfortable Cup-shaped scanner.

According to researcher said that the main difference between breast x-rays shadow rely on breast tissue density, and radio-frequency you use normal and disease in breast tissue permittivity of differences.

This new technology can be used in breast into scanning Cup moment we live developer, any tumor or unusual organization will display in red.

Professor Wu said: "the system is portable, acceptance testing of women a lie down may be scanned in real time, everything is in real-time.

This real-time developer reduce scan time got a breast tumor. This will benefit the developed and developing countries, millions of women, want to know every nine women, one in this life is likely to suffer from breast cancer. ”

As a result of using similar cell phone found by technology, but much lower power, this system was said to be "safe and low-cost".

Canada, the United Kingdom and United States researchers have radio frequency or microwave techniques to detect breast cancer. Professor Wu this system no single existing class system more quickly, you don't need such as ultrasound and other systems use some specific liquid or gel to make media, this system can simply use oil, milk, water, and even wearing a bra.

Professor Wu pointed out that although there was still some research work to be done, this system has a great opportunity to become a new method for the diagnosis of breast cancer.

This patented invention has been nominated to be released within a month of "engineering and Technology Institute (Institution of Engineering and Technology, the IET) Innovation Award".
