LASER LIGHT DETECTS DISEASE ON YOUR BREATH

[Guest guest]

Straight out of a Sci-Fi novel, our scientists now bring you laser detected disease's. Just think, less invasive detection methods. I'm all for that!.. Lynda

By blasting a person's breath with laser light, scientists from the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the University of Colorado at Boulder have shown that they can detect molecules that may be markers for diseases like asthma or cancer.

While the new technique has yet to be tested in clinical trials, it may someday allow doctors to screen people for certain diseases simply by sampling their breath, according to the research team from JILA, a joint institute of NIST and CU-Boulder. "This technique can give a broad picture of many different molecules in the breath all at once," said Jun Ye, a fellow of JILA and NIST who led the research. http://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/forum.cgi?read=119236
