Researchers from the University of Glasgow have developed a new 3D imaging technique using Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans.
This new technique could potentially replace invasive biopsies for diagnosing and monitoring bowel cancer, reducing risks for patients.
PET scans provide a detailed, three-dimensional view of the entire bowel, allowing doctors to study tumors while they're still inside the body.
This breakthrough is significant for precision medicine, where treatments are tailored to the specific characteristics of a patient's tumor.
The researchers identified different bowel cancer characteristics in mice using PET imaging and existing genetic data.
This research has promising implications for improving bowel cancer diagnosis and treatment outcomes.
