ITL Group Teams Up With King's College for Cancer Imaging Project

According to the American Cancer Society, in 2017 alone, an estimated 1,688,780 new cancer cases will be diagnosed in the US, and I'm guessing that number is pretty high for other countries as well. So it's always good to hear about new research and projects centered around early diagnosis and cancer treatment. Medical device contractor the ITL Group (Integrated Technologies Ltd.) recently teamed up with King's College London (KCL) to develop a cancer imaging project, which will assist with the planning and monitoring of cancer treatment through better initial identification, and sizing, of cancer tumors in the body. The project is funded by the European Commission's Horizon 2020 framework, brings together a consortium of 20 companies to combine engineering developments with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in order to make Magnetic Resonance Force (MRF) Imaging for new cancer diagnostics applications, which could potentially give doctors a non-invasive way to both diagnose, and measure, cancer tumors.
