Nanosensor is a new emerging technology in the medical sector, which will give
clinicians the hope they have been waiting for to be able to help their patients in a more
promising way. While it is still being developed, it has shown some tremendous
abilities that are sparking the interest of a lot of people. It is claimed that nanosensor
technology is able to monitor the condition of its surrounding tissue where it is put. It can
detect if there is an inflammation or the presence of a certain microorganisms in the body.
The best part of the discovery of this technology is its ability to be used for early
diagnosis in the medical field.
This is the advanced technology that clinicians have
been waiting for, since until now, based on the statistics from 2012 there are 8.2 million
cancer deaths worldwide and almost half of the colorectal cancer and cervical cancer
cases are diagnosed at late stages, when treatment is more difficult and it will most likely
to increase the mortality rate.
Through this poster, we would like to introduce one of the many nanosensor technology
discoveries that can be implemented in the medical field, that is Carbon Nano Tube
(CNT). This tube is made out of carbon atoms shaped cylindrically with the amazing
ability to catch micro sized molecules. And the world believes that this can be used to
catch proteins that the cancer cell produced which cannot be detected in the past due to
the lack of improvements from the former technique. With this promising encounter of
atom sized technology, comes a huge prospect to develop this technology to a new level.
This is, the promising breakthrough.
