SALT LAKE CITY — Along with a breast cancer diagnosis can come depression, anxiety and fear. A team of scientists from the University of Utah hopes to quickly reduce some of that stress.
Allison Payne is a research assistant professor in the University of Utah’s department of radiology and imaging sciences. She is also the principal investigator on the team pioneering what is called the Muse System, which is a magnetic resonance guided focused ultrasound system.
“It’s a bit like getting a massage,” Payne said. “You lie here (on the Muse table) with your face down.” The woman’s breast hangs down through a special space where it is suspended in water.
