The Biomedical Engineering Department at Florida International University is a prime resource for biomedical engineering education, training, research, and technology development in Florida. It is nationally recognized as a model for servicing the needs of the clinical medicine and the biomedical industries through workforce and technology development. Currently, a team led by Dr. Godavarty has been at work for years to develop a non-invasive way to detect breast cancer. Eventually, a bulky machine will be turned into a small hand-held 3D imaging device that uses infrared light to spot tumors in the breast tissue. The imaging process is painless for patients, and the team hopes the device can be used along with mammography.
