How the ultrasound bra could change breast cancer screening for women

MIT researchers are developing an innovative ultrasound-based bra to enhance early breast cancer detection, allowing women to monitor their health from home. The device, inspired by Dr. Canan Dagdeviren's personal loss, uses magnets for comfort and costs less than $3 per scan. Tested in microgravity by Amanda Nguyen, the bra could be crucial for women at high risk or in areas lacking traditional screening.
