Authors' objectives:
The ClearSight™ MRI system helps surgeons see cancer cells in people having surgery for breast cancer. The system uses an imaging technique with a powerful magnetic field, radio waves and a computer to produce detailed pictures of parts of the body. These pictures show which cells in the suspected tumour are cancer cells and which are normal. The developer says the system can be used during breast surgery to make sure all the cancer cells are removed.
