3D Tumor Imaging
Discoveries and cutting-edge technologies that scientists and engineers develop to advance our understanding of basic physics — such as faster, cheaper and more precise radiation detectors, for instance — get adopted and adapted, enabling greater precision in biomedical research, in spotting cancer cells earlier, and in helping drive breakthroughs that improve human health, treat illnesses and save lives.

Built with detector technologies used in nuclear physics experiments, the system monitors radiation treatments in hard-to-reach areas.
A new device may enable breast cancer imagers to provide up to six times better contrast of tumors in the breast, while halving the radiation dose to patients.
