| | Scientists at Washington University in St. Louis are investigating if ultrasound-guided diffuse light tomography, a noninvasive imaging technique, could help radiologists differentiate cancers from benign tumors. This could lead to fewer unnecessary biopsies, the team believes, and reduce healthcare costs.
