results in laboratory mice, and have shown that the spread of cancer even on a very small scale can be detected earlier than with traditional techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging or near - infrared imaging.
In the Rutgers study, Zong and lead author Ji - An Pan, a scientist in his laboratory, looked at liver and heart
