Very promising Health Monitor for diagnosing lung tumors.
The most methods are the use of X-ray - fluorography, overall radiogram and CT. They are based on the difference in tissue density: the denser the tissue, the lighter image on the film/monitor screen will be. Against the background of the full lungs air, the picture is quite contrast.
But if the tumor originates from the same cells as the lung parenchyma, then its density will be the same as the normal tissues and then nothing will be seen in the picture.
And of course, any of X-ray examinations give the organism a harmful radiation load.
Blood markers are promising, but the accuracy of the study still leaves much to be desired: mistakes in both directions happen quite often.
But the spectrum of the exhaled air always changes if someone suffers from any pulmonary pathology. The device allows these changes to be observed, measured and registered.
Metabolism of cancer cells significantly changes and they begin to synthesize a number of volatile organic compounds.
And the device will detect them/
Do not expect the Health Monitor to establish the type of tumor and its stage. No, the device has another area of application - screening diagnosis of lung cancer.
