Cancer Diagnostic Probe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cancer Diagnostic Probe was developed by a team led by Mohammad Abdolahad, a 2019 Mustafa Prize laureate and faculty member of the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Tehran, to facilitate the determination of cancerous margins.[2] Abdolahad stated that the clinical trial for the device lasted 4 years and that up to 500 surgeries had been carried out using the CDP by 2020.[2] According to Sayyed Ruhollah Miri, the head of the Cancer Institute at the Tehran University of Medical Sciences, the CDP reduces the diagnosis time to 1–2 minutes.[3]
