The world’s first RADAR BREAST-IMAGING system looks set to revolutionise screening for breast cancer. MARIA (Multistatic Array processing for Radiowave Image Acquisition) has been developed from land-mine detection equipment. It captures high-resolution images using harmless radio waves. “It takes only eight seconds to acquire the images. It’s completely safe, because it doesn’t use radiation. It’s low-cost, small and portable. Above all, unlike the mammogram, it doesn’t squeeze the breasts, so the vast majority of women much prefer it.”
