3D photoacoustic scanner created at UCL enhances early disease diagnosis, improving patient care.

Researchers at University College London have created a handheld 3D photoacoustic scanner that produces detailed images in seconds, enhancing early diagnosis of diseases like cancer and arthritis. This device, which uses laser-generated ultrasound waves, allows real-time imaging, improving patient care and reducing scan times significantly. It could be implemented in clinical settings within three to five years, pending further testing.
