Breast Cancer Can Detected by Antiranjau Technology

Jakarta, examination of breast cancer is less preferred because it takes a long time, sick and vulnerable to the hazards of radiation. Now the complaint can be removed, by utilizing the latest technology antiranjau in breast cancer detection methods.

The new method called Maria (Multistatic Array Processing for Radiowave Image Acquisition) claimed to be more secure because it uses radio waves instead of X-rays as used so far. With this technology, the risk of radiation exposure can be smaller.

The process is also faster, because it only takes 8 seconds and the picture directly presented in 3-dimensional format. With traditional X-ray, the process takes at least 1 minute has not been included due to be repeated if the picture is not good and the analysis takes two weeks.

But most importantly, the technology is also used to sweep mines in the battlefield can be used for all ages. X-rays are less accurate for age under 50 years old because breast tissue is dense, whereas with this tool can handle.

Radio wave technology in this tool is exactly the same as mine sweeper. On the battlefield, the technology is used to detect non-metallic explosives that are embedded in the soil and could explode at any time if stepped on or run over tanks.

In initial testing at the University of Bristol, this tool can detect tumors in 80 percent of 200 participants were involved. The final stage of trials will be conducted in the near future at Frenchay Hospital and Southmead Hospital, and was estimated to be marketed next 5 years.

"Mammography uses X-rays commonly are sometimes even increase the risk of cancer if it is too often. With radio waves, radiation is no bigger than a phone," said Dr Mike Shere from Southmead Hospital, as quoted from Dailymail, Monday (01/02/2012).
