That the Parliament welcomes the news that the University of Aberdeen, in collaboration with NHS Grampian, has developed a new scanner that can identify previously undetectable cancer tumour invasion; notes that the Field Cycling Imager (FCI) scanner, which it understands is the world’s first and only ultra-low magnetic scanner, was found to be able to distinguish tumour material from healthy tissue with more accuracy than current MRI methods when scientists from the university examined breast tissue of patients newly diagnosed with cancer; understands that the scanner acts like multiple scanners in one, can extract multiple different types of information about the tissue and can detect tumours without the need for contrast dye to be injected into the body, which has been associated with kidney damage and allergic reactions in some patients; believes that this scanner, which follows in the footsteps of the full-body MRI scanner that was invented at the university around 50 years ago, could be transformational in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer in Scotland and around the world, and congratulates all of those involved in the study for their efforts in developing this groundbreaking technology.
