Even with today's technology lung cancer is extremely hard to detect and can go undetected for years until it is too late to cure. Lung cancer is an uncontrollable increase of abnormal cells, in the lungs. Instead of developing into healthy lung tissue they stop the functioning of the lungs by growing into a tumor. Today's technology is very expensive and could be misread. Our project idea is to create a device that can locate cancer using ultrasound technology. We are basing it on the ultrasonic sensor that is usually used to see the child in a pregnant woman. There are a couple improvements we would add in order to make it work the way we want. It will be affordable, accurate, and advanced. It will look for any abnormal cells and display it on to the screen. Cancer cells are extremely different from normal cells. We would code in a normal cells before it is made so that it knows what is normal and what is not. It would look for characteristical differences in the normal cell coded in and the ones in the patient.
