Tiny robot to help cancer diagnosis
London, England - British scientists are developing a tiny robot to fit inside MRI machines, which will improve the accuracy of biopsies taken to screen for prostate cancer.
Needle biopsies are currently taken from the prostate using ultrasound technology to detect where the prostate gland is.
But Dr Alex Zivanovic, of Imperial College London, told CNN that ultrasounds provided poor image quality, which makes knowing where to take the biopsy from difficult.
