A research team at Massachusetts General Hospital has designed a diagnostic system cancer that has shown an accuracy of 96%, higher than the biopsies are often used to study tumors ( 80% of the common machines used ).
physician-scientist team Ralph Weissleder of Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) in Boston developed a miniature version of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) machine, the workhorse tool that allows researchers to identify chemical compounds that form the nuclei react to magnetic fields. The researchers also found a way to attach magnetic nanoparticles to proteins so the machine can pick up these specific proteins from a gemisch of chemicals such as those found in a sample of tumor cells. machine with a standard chemistry laboratory NMR approaches the size of a file, but the new device is only as big as a cup of coffee. "Our patients hate espra this week to see if you have cancer or not," he says. The strategy should also cut down on repeat biopsy, which typically cost thousands of dollars, says Weissleder.
