Sonar Aids in Cancer Research at UW Madison
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin Madison report high frequency sonar scanners can measure tumor response to treatment in three dimensions, potentially guiding radiation and chemotherapy. The device offers nondestructive, repeatable monitoring though not a replacement for X rays, with costs around 25 000 dollars for the scanner and 80 000 dollars for the sonar computer hookup. The study began nine months ago and is partially funded by the National Cancer Institute.
