It all started with fundamental research and a theoretical concept in 2013. Since then, the scientists have made a series of discoveries and experiments and as a result, came up with MetaCoil – a wireless, ergonomic, compact (and aesthetic!) device for breast screening. In our new longread, we’ll discuss the path towards a device, as well as its efficiency and potential practical applications.
From Theory to Practice: How ITMO Scientists Created a Wireless Compact Device for Breast Screening
Breast cancer is one of the most widespread oncological diseases and one of the most dangerous for women overall: 685,000 died of it last year alone. The best way to save a life is to detect and treat the tumor at the early stages of the disease. That’s why scientists from all over the world keep working on increasing the efficiency of MRI and researchers from ITMO University are no exception.
