Taken from a post on Oraclehncuk..

University Hospital Coventry is leading the way in cancer treatment with a revolutionary scanner called Aura-10, which could be a game changer for patients with head and neck cancer!

What makes it special?

The Aura-10 is a cutting-edge mobile unit that combines CT and PET scanning to deliver incredibly detailed images of tumours in just 10 minutes – right there in the operating theatre!

Why is this important?

Currently, after a tumour is removed, it takes 4-5 weeks for lab tests to confirm whether all the cancer has been cleared. With Aura-10, doctors can assess this immediately during surgery, potentially reducing the need for follow-up procedures and improving outcomes.
