The novel intraoperative probe SentiMag is expected to improve the prognosis of breast cancer by early detection of cancer cell spread. The SentiMag is co- developed by University of Houston (UH) physicist, Audrius Brazdeikis (an associate professor of physics at the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics) along with his colleagues at University College of London (UCL). The SentiMag allows physicians to locate and screen sentinel nodes with its associated advanced magnetic sensors and Sienna+ tracer nanotechnology.
