IISc Researchers Develop Innovative Imaging Method to Detect Tumours

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in Bengaluru have made a significant breakthrough by developing a novel imaging molecule for detecting tumors. The new method offers an accurate way to identify tumors due to the higher activity levels and increased glucose consumption of tumor cells compared to healthy cells. This innovation provides a safer alternative to current detection methods without the need for repeated procedures and at a fraction of the cost. The team at IISc aims to revolutionize tumor detection by introducing this cost-effective and efficient imaging technique.
