The deal TRIMprob

He invented the machine that sees tumors ...

A 30 cm long tube that allows you to discover the cancer does not just begin to form. An electromagnetic probe that sees any inflammation of the tissues. A test that takes just 2-3 minutes, is not invasive, does not cause pain or discomfort to the patient, and immediately provides the answer. A harmless test, repeated endlessly and without taking off their clothes, which has a diagnostic accuracy of at least 70%, but when performed by experienced hands, may even reach 100% reliability. A revolutionary, compact, portable, which can be used anywhere that does not require radioactive contrast media, plates or other consumables. Equipment that you buy, rather they bought, with 43,000 € plus VAT, compared to € 3-4 million a magnetic resonance imaging machine, the 2 million a Pet and a million and a half of a CAT scan, all ' and three with very high operating costs.

So who's afraid of and why bioscanner, trade name TRIMprob? Certainly not the potential patients, who could find time for illness. Not the Ministry of Health, which has included in the register of medical devices in the NHS. Certainly not Professor Umberto Veronesi, who has pioneered in its European Institute of Oncology in Milan and has praised its validity. Yet Galileo Avionics, a subsidiary of giant Finmeccanica, announced the closure of the Probe Trim Spa, the company that produces and markets wound up as no longer deemed strategic part of an international group specialized in the means of defense military.

This is the unfortunate historia a knight of the past, Professor Clarbruno Vedruccio, 54, the inventor of bioscanner, degree in physics and electrical engineering in the United States, who collaborated with the Institute of Atmospheric Physics of the CNR in Bologna and professor of research methodology at the University of Urbino, and in present times would have merited Nobel prizes for physics and medicine merged together, if only the world revolved in the right direction, and instead is forced to drain their bank accounts to protect her child.

Vedruccio bioscanner arrived at by accident while he was providing advanced military technology to some elite units of our armed forces. So as not to miss such a brain, in 2004 the leaders of the Navy have dusted Marconi Law of 1932, so called because it was tailored for Marconi, the inventor of radio, which threatened to move bag and baggage to the British. Enlisted "Special Merit" in the Selected Reserve, by decree of the President of the Republic, the Pythagorean Archimedes became captain of a frigate and was assigned to the office of the Command studies and underwater raiders in La Spezia. He also participated in the UN peacekeeping mission in Lebanon Leon, where has worked for a commendation.

When in 2004 a series of impressive displays - appliances that caught fire, exploding car windows, compasses went mad, automatic gates that opened by themselves - shocked the life of Caronia, near Messina, Civil Protection Vedruccio called to find the key to the problem. The researcher made sure that the village Nebrodi was struck by beams of electromagnetic radiation with particular characteristics. Today, if you ask him who he was to issue, is limited to three words: "I can not answer." The inventor lives with his wife Carla Ricci, his assistant, a few kilometers from the Northern Cross radio telescope in Medicina (Bologna). Talk about the case.

unusual name, Clarbruno.

'is Clara and the merger of Brunello, my parents. "

She is a physicist. Why has agreed to become a naval officer?

"I am not a warmonger nor pacifist. But if war is to be done, is done. We say that the military life is the norm in our family. I was born in Ruffy, province of Lecce. My maternal grandfather, Ettore Giaccari, lost at sea in 1941, was the chief engineer of the crossing River, sunk by the British at the Battle of Cape Matapan. My father commanded the Coast Guard brigade of finance. I grew up among the barracks and the Lighthouse of Torre Canne. In January 1958 F86 aircraft crashed in the Adriatic and dad jumped in to swim the icy waters to save the pilot. Him back to shore, but unfortunately he was already dead. I spent his childhood between the wreckage of that fighter jet. I still remember the cockpit, the controls, the radio room. My love for electronics was born there. "

bioscanner And it is born?

"In 1985 he collaborated with the San Marco battalion. I was asked if I was able to develop a technology to catch poachers at night Pedagna landed on the island, a military zone off the coast of Brindisi. Cameras could not be installed for the excessive saltiness and the frequent storms. I was working on a kind of radar-personnel mines, such as the Americans used in Vietnam, when I noticed that some UHF frequency bands, between 350 and 500 MHz, and below the channels, interacted well with biological tissue of persons. "

How does one noticed?

"I wanted to experience the ability to use electromagnetism for tracing landmines buried in the ground: the detector recorded any instability in the compactness of the sand up to 20 inches depth. While I was in my lab, I noticed that on a spectrum analyzer of the three spectral lines disappear completely whenever I approached the test. Strange. That day I had swallowed a salami sandwich on the train and I was in the grip of a terrible gastritis. I lit a bulb in my head. Castagnoli called Henry, a former Navy radar operator, my neighbor and asked him how he felt healthy. "It is all right," he said. I repeated the test on him: no change of the spectrum. The confirmation I was looking for. "

mean?

"Then I could not know. But I just tried to live what scientists Hugo Fricke and Sterne Morse sensed and described in 1926 in Cancer Research which is that healthy tissue has a lower electrical capacity, higher than inflamed, even more than cancer. In my practice bioscanner allows you to do a kind of electromagnetic biopsy, and bloodless, of biological tissues, with three frequencies in the UHF band, around 460, with 920 and 1350 MHz. In particular, the signal on the first frequency interacts with malignant tumor formation, indicating a lowering of the spectral line. "

It identifies any type of cancer?

"With the exception of leukemia. But solid tumors on which we suspect has read them all. I have seen some cancers of the breast with two years early sull'ecografia and mammography. "
