Positron emission tomography (PET) is used commonly in the diagnosis of suspected lung cancer. Computed bioconductance (CB) id being investigated as a non-invasive way to predict whether an suspicious abnormality in the lung is benign or malignant. In a new study, researchers found that CB combined with PET before biopsy of suspicious lesions could improve diagnostic effectiveness of potentially cancerous lesions detected by computed tomography (CT) scan.

Scientists are developing a new photonics device that listens to light and could be capable of detecting skin cancer and other diseases more accurately than ever before, eliminating the need for unnecessary and invasive biopsies.
