Imaging Physical Properties of Tumors Could Be Used in Precision Medicine LYON, France, Jan. 10, 2019 — A team at the University of Lyon has developed a light-scattering method that maps out the mechanical properties of a tumor’s cellular structure as well as its internal fluids, revealing changes due to chemotherapy treatment. The technique could be used to differentiate populations of malignant cells and monitor how effective an anticancer treatment is. The research team used a noncontact imaging technique that exploits the minute vibrations of matter that occur naturally. The team’s technique...
