New Zealand scientist makes breakthrough in breast screening
Wellington, New Zealand - A New Zealand scientist in Auckland has developed a revolutionary form of breast screening that may detect cancer several years earlier than present X-ray techniques, New Zealand Herald reported Saturday.
The new radar-based system can spot tumors as small as 1 mm in diameter, a quarter of the size of the smallest tumors that are upto nine or 10 years old by the time they can be found by existing x-ray mammograms and ultrasounds.
