Q. Can IT be used to diagnose breast cancer better?

A. The FDA has approved the 'iTBra' from a Nevada company Cyrcadia Health. It is not yet available for purchase but will be soon.The iTBra consists of dual breast patches worn as a bra insert. It contains multiple sensors which monitor circadian metabolic changes in heat and texture that correlateto accelerated cellular activity common in breast tumours.This technique has been shown to be more effective in detecting cancer in dense breast tissue which can be challenging to interpret on mammograms.
