Researchers at the University of Aberdeen have developed an innovative scanner, the Field Cycling Imager (FCI), to enhance breast cancer diagnosis. This prototype showed improved accuracy in distinguishing tumor from healthy tissue compared to current Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) methods. By varying the magnetic field strength during scans, the FCI can detect previously undetectable tumor invasions without the need for dye injections. This advancement promises to refine treatment plans and increase the precision of biopsies, reducing repeated surgeries for patients.
We found that images generated from FCI can characterise breast tumours more accurately. This means it could improve the treatment plan for the patients. The potential impact of this on patients is extraordinary.
This is a truly exciting innovation and as we keep improving the technology for FCI, it can help not just breast patients but also those with other types of cancers.
