Biomagnetics Developed For Use In New Breast Cancer Test
A team from UCL has developed a new medical device which will make the early detection of breast cancer more cost effective and easier to administer. The team which won a prestigious Brian Mercer Feasibility Award from the Royal Society yesterday plans to use magnetic nanoparticles and an extremely sensitive magnetometer called the ‘HistoMag’ to detect cancerous cells in samples of breast tissue.
