In the field of technology and health, there is a special interest in Stormram 4. This small robot will fight against breast cancer. Printed in 3D in plastic and air pressure, it has come up with a revolution in the treatment of breast cancer in order to prevent severe surgery.
Twenty-five University (Netherlands) engineers have developed this robot to take the tissues (biopsy) in a breast exploration, in a magnetic resonance, as it is so.
Magnetic resonance is the most efficient process for detecting and detecting an unusual tissue in the chest. However, the use of this specification is not always workable, because using a handheld needles in a scanner.
The only way to improve the accuracy of these types of treatments is to use robots. But metal equipment can not be used in this environment due to large magnetic fields. For this reason, Stormram 4 is the key to manufacturing plastic, which results in millimetric results.
"The precise navigation of the biopsy needle is crucial for dealing with breast cancer (as well as for other cancers), as it is possible to eliminate tumor cells through thermal ablation or krioab.", They say in the institution, where they add "precise control of the needle, effective MRI exploration In real time and a single needle biopsy, the diagnosis can be made faster and more accurate. "
Standard procedure
This progress in the fight against cancer leads to a step-by-step saving in order to complete treatment with this disease, so that it can be done more quickly, with a new advantage that is not hard
"This kind of medical robotic will surely be a standard procedure in the near future in hospitals," the Twente University adds.
The emergence of this robot that is fighting against breast cancer has been a great advance for the medical community. This is evident as a challenge for surgical robotics at the Hamlyn international symposium in London, the most important event in the field of medicine worldwide.
Hey, woman!
Breast cancer warnings can be different in each person. Some people do not have any signs or symptoms. A person may find out through a routine mammogram that they only have breast cancer. However, every woman should know that there are some signs to be aware of this illness:
-
A new thread on the chest or under the arm.
-
Increase or swelling of the thickness of a part of the breast.
-
Irritation or wrecking on the skin of the breasts.
-
Slimming or scaling in the breastplate or breast area.
-
Any change in the size or shape of the breast.
-
Breast pain in any part.
Also, note that these warning signs can also be caused by many non-cancerous diseases.
