An un-noticeable device in a bra can help identify
breast cancer early. A company in US has disclosed their plans to come up with an
ultra modern device that can be worn inside the bra to help detect breast cancer.
The company’s belief is that their device will detect
tumors early and reduce the rate of false positives and negatives helping women
to seek treatment as soon as possible following a diagnosis.
The sensor is placed inside the bra and will measure
any changes in cell temperature caused by the blood vessel growth associated
with tumors as they develop.
The sensor contains software that uses pattern
recognition, chronology and artificial intelligence to look for changes in
breast tissue that might indicate a tumor was present. The size of the breast
tumors and how far the cancer has spread are crucial elements in determining
the prognosis of women diagnosed with breast cancer.
Advanced technology like 3D mammography and
thermography are commonly used methods to diagnoses, most of the times, it is
considered un-trustworthy. Concerns like
patients discomfort, exposure to radiation and false positives and negatives
has spurred the creation of numerous other screening methods.
