"DEAR FRIENDS OF RADIO"
Could your bra one day detect breast cancer? One team of researchers in the United Kingdom says it is moving closer to a prototype for such an undergarment.
Called a "smart bra," the device incorporates a series of microwave antennae to detect temperature changes in the breast that point to early stage breast cancer.
Professor Elias Siores, director of the Centre for Research and Innovation at the University of Bolton in the United Kingdom and inventor of the smart bra, says the device can detect cancer before the tumor can develop and spread into the surrounding areas.
The concept at play is known as thermography, the detection of subtle temperature changes within the breast. Spot elevations in temperature, Siores says, could denote an increase to blood flow to a developing tumor.
Siores says his device would use passive microwaves, essentially bringing technology currently used to pinpoint the location of submarines and distant stars beneath the blouses of women to find breast cancer. READ MORE HERE.
