A research team at the University of Bristol (Bristol,UK;www.bristol.ac.uk) has leveraged the latest technological advances in manipulation and sensor technology to develop a device that can carry out Clinical Breast Examinations(CBE) efficiently.

The CBE manipulator is engineered to apply specific forces similar to those exerted by a human examiner.

Moreover, it is capable of detecting lumps at greater depths thanks to advanced sensor technology.

The device could also potentially be used in conjunction with other existing diagnostic methods,like ultrasound tests.

This innovation could transform how women monitor their breast health by offering them electronic CBEs in convenient locations like pharmacies and health centers.
