Researchers at MIT used 3D printing to pioneer a groundbreaking wearable ultrasound device specifically for the early detection of breast cancer. This landmark invention underscores the vast potential of 3D printing applications and aims to improve survival outcomes by facilitating earlier tumor detection.
A significant concern in the realm of breast cancer detection is the occurrence of interval cancers – tumors that develop between regular mammogram appointments. These account for 20 to 30 percent of breast cancer cases and are often more aggressive than tumors detected during routine scans. This pressing issue inspired MIT’s Canan Dagdeviren, an associate professor in MIT’s Media Lab and the senior author of the study, to visualize a diagnostic device that could be seamlessly integrated...
