UCL's Miniature Laser Scanner Revolutionizes Early Disease Detection
Sep 30, 2024, 10:16 AM
Researchers at University College London (UCL) have made a breakthrough in miniaturizing medical imaging technology by developing a new hand-held scanner that can generate detailed 3D images in seconds. The miniature device uses laser light, rather than harmful X-rays, to see beneath the skin, potentially revolutionizing early diagnosis of diseases such as cancer and diabetes. The scanner quickly creates detailed 3D photoacoustic images, enabling rapid disease detection and improved patient outcomes.
