British invention tablets robot can check Tunru womb cancer

According to the British "Daily Mail" reported on January 31, cancer is still the medical profession was seen as incurable fatal disease, how to quickly make a diagnosis on it is particularly important. British scientists have developed a micro-robot, like the pill in patients with the same Tunru, the cancerous tissue and automatically detect and take photographs.

The newly developed robot only ordinary pill size, when the body after being Tunru, it will automatically search for the body of cancer lesions. In the human body, the robot can also make timely detection of the tumor, and then test the data and send the results to a computer. The micro-robot is also carrying a miniature video camera, can take about 400 million human gastrointestinal, and other parts of photos. These high-resolution photos will help doctors to patients to make further diagnosis.

The robot's developers said that such a great revolutionary robot eventually successfully developed, would allow tens of thousands of gastrointestinal cancer patients from living tissue biopsy or surgical pain. Britain each year about 2,000 people will have to accept the gastrointestinal cancer detection, had relied mainly on live or surgical biopsy to determine whether or not suffering from cancer, or cancer is serious. In this routine testing, patients usually have to bear great suffering.

The researchers said the micro-robot to enter the human body, can be taken to immediately send the photos to a computer, so people after the end of the test, there is no need to recall them. These machines will be within the gastrointestinal and other human waste, will be through natural excretion by the way into the toilet in. The researchers also said that the study is sponsored by the European Union completed, a total investment of up to 1.8 million pounds, of which the most sophisticated of the results is a "camera pill" technology. As of now, this technology has a number of hospitals in the United Kingdom conducted a clinical use, mainly for the treatment of Crohn's disease, including (Crohn), various kinds of diseases.

In the human body, "the camera pill," can only take photographs of lesions, but the latest development of the micro-robot is not only able to take pictures, also in the human body can automatically detect and identify cancerous tissue and normal tissue. When the discovery of cancer cells, it can automatically related photos and test results available to doctors, thus enabling detection of patients receiving surgery from bitterness. The main principle of the robot, robot automatically detect the organization in patients with fluid and then proceed to analyze and judge, along with photographs of cancer sites for doctors to make further judgement. As organizations in the fluid in the process of extraction and transportation will be undermined, by the robots directly from the body for testing and will play an irreplaceable advantages.

The researchers said that they are micro-robot can be installed on the issue of special lighting devices, the device in the body will be kept within the gastrointestinal launched this light. Under normal circumstances, the cancerous cells to absorb the energy needed to light the stronger, because the cancerous tumor cells of the need to provide more oxygen molecules. When the doctor to a patient's position in doubt, can also allow robots through wireless operators stay in this position, for more detailed testing. This intimate with the previous camera detection device has a very different, because doctors can now finally on the external manipulation of the robot.
