Infrared scanner can detect breast cancer

LOS ANGELES

They claim the new scanner is more effective at detecting breast cancer than mammograms.

Mammograms use X-ray to detect breast cancer. The new scanner uses infrared beams and thermal energy without radiation.

The company that developed the scanner says the new technology is also more effective for younger women who often have denser breast tissue.

The scanner is still in early clinical trials.
