“MAMMOBOT ”: A flexible robot for early breast cancer detection and intervention

We invite you to join us to give feedback on the MAMMOBOT project. Many women suffer from nipple discharge. Most nipple discharge is benign but in certain cases nipple discharge can be an early warning sign of breast cancer. Presently, many women will need to undergo surgery to remove the leaky duct to confirm whether or not they have breast cancer. MAMMOBOT is a flexible growing robot that can navigate the mammary ductal tree. MAMMOBOT enables advanced imaging techniques such as optical biopsy that can diagnose cellular abnormalities in the ductal channel with high levels of accuracy.
