Breast cancer breakthrough as new super-fast scanner unveiled
Experts believe a new 'super fast' scanner will find tumours that traditional mammograms often miss - and it takes just 10 minutes.
Dr Arnab Basu, CEO of Kromek:
“Ultra-fast molecular breast imaging technology has the capacity to save women’s lives by enabling earlier, faster, more accurate detection of aggressive breast cancers, especially in those with dense breast tissue where conventional mammography often fails. With cutting-edge cadmium zinc telluride detectors and advanced electronics, this technology delivers faster scans at a lower radiation dose, transforming a standard 2D image into a precise 3D view. Currently in prototype trials at Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals, the system is poised to make breast cancer screening both more effective and accessible for those most at risk."
