New Prototype Device Eliminates Radiation Exposure from Breast Cancer Screening

Breast cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer death in women. Now scientists at the University of Waterloo have designed a system that could help save the lives of many women by routinely screening them for breast cancer without exposing them to radiation. This new and inexpensive technology uses artificial intelligence (“AI”) software and harmless microwaves to detect small early-stage tumors in minutes. Some studies have found that small tumors can be aggressive, which makes it even more important for women to begin screening for breast cancer regularly. A professor of electrical and computer engineering at the institution, Omar Ramahi…
