The Royal Free Hospital's new positron emission tomography' scanner is 30 times more powerful than standard machines and makes more sensitive examinations in just five minutes instead of half-an-hour.
Patients are exposed to far less radiation, which also means treatment starts sooner. They get diagnoses much quicker, the Royal Free's specialties director Roopinder Gillmore explained. Oncologists also get much more detailed information about tumours, which allows more effective treatment.
