Trial of breast scanner to aid cancer research

Next Article | Contents


If you are over 50 years old and have had a clear mammogram in the last year, you are invited to participate in a pre-clinical study of a novel medical imaging device.

This state-of-the-art technology is pioneered by the Biomedical Engineering team (Department of Engineering & Design) at Sussex, who are investigating its application to breast cancer.

Dr Balaji Ganeshan, who is conducting the trial, said: "This device is non-invasive, requires no exposure to ionising radiation and minimises patient discomfort. There is no breast compression required."

A specialised team of female radiographers will perform the breast scanning.

If you are interested in participating in this ground-breaking trial please contact Dr Ganeshan (b.ganeshan@sussex.ac.uk) for an informal chat and further details. Participation will be kept confidential and rewarded by a minimum of £25 (per visit) to a maximum of £150 (6 visits).
