High tech detection of breast cancer using nanoprobes and SQUID

Mammography saves lives by detecting very small tumors. However, it fails to find 10-25% of tumors and is unable to distinguish between benign and malignant disease. New research published in BioMed Central's open access journal Breast Cancer Research provides a new and potentially more sensitive method using tumor–targeted magnetic nanoprobes and superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) sensors.
