Researchers have developed a test that detects prostate cancer in less than 15 minutes using dried blood samples.
The test works by analysing crystal-like structures in dehydrated blood for signs of the disease and early trials found the test is 90 per cent accurate.
The study, titled, “Insights into Polycrystalline Microstructure of Blood Films with 3D Mueller Matrix Imaging Approach,” was carried out by researchers at Aston University in Birmingham and published in the online journal, Scientific Reports.
