NEW SCANNER
This is fantastic news. A team from
Harvard University and MIT has created
a scanner with a price of $ 200 that can
detect cancer in just 1 hour.
This portable device uses antibodies
and magnetic particles to look for
cancer cells, which are extracted with a
needle. The results are processed by a
smart phone, such as the iPhone, using
an application and just in one hour you
will know if you have cancer or not.
