New diagnostic technique improves breast cancer screening

Flexible coils for magnetic resonance imaging are being designed to search for breast cancer faster and with less disadvantages. In a project funded by the Austrian Science Fund FWF, a prototype is now being developed in Vienna.

Breast cancer is among the most common forms of cancer and is the most frequent type found among women in the western world, making early detection particularly important. Imaging examinations of the female breast, referred to as “mammography”, include X-ray methods or, alternatively, less risky but also more expensive, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI exposes the human body to a static and a high-frequency magnetic field, which electromagnetically excites the nuclei of the hydrogen atoms in the body’s tissue. This reaction is then used to record a three-dimensional image from inside the body. An MRI examination does, however, present some practical disadvantages – Read More.
