Electronic Nose Can Sniff Out Kidney Diseases and Lung Cancer
August 11th, 2009
Using an array of sensors made from gold nanoparticles, Dr. Haick and his team have also developed an “electronic nose” able to distinguish the breath of lung cancer patients from those without the disease. The research results, which will be published in the Nanotechnology section of Nature Magazine very soon, the researchers tell DOTmed, could lead to a rapid and non-invasive way of diagnosing and screening for lung cancer.
