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 provides immediate 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 put him 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, former co-worker 's 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 arrived at by pure bioscanner If, as 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 off the law Marconi in 1932, so called because it was tailored to Guglielmo 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 hath been earned a commendation.

When in 2004 a series of impressive displays - which caught fire appliances, car windows exploding, compasses that went mad, automatic gates that opened by themselves - shocked the life of Caronia, near Messina, the Civil Defence called Vedruccio 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 the Northern Cross radio telescope of Medicina (Bologna). Talk about the case.

unusual name, Clarbruno.

"is the fusion of Clara and 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 a plane crashed in the Adriatic F86 and Dad threw himself to swim in icy waters to save the pilot. Him back to shore, but unfortunately he was already dead. I spent his childhood among 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 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. The 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 possibilities also use electromagnetism to locate landmines buried in the ground: the detector recorded any instability in the compactness of the sand up to 20 cm deep. 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 and that is that normal tissues have an electrical capacity lower than inflamed higher, 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. "

Who was the first patient to undergo the examination?

"A British physicist who had come for a conference at the University of Urbino. I have discovered a tumor in the prostate. In the following days, students of medicine, pharmacy and veterinary lined up to undergo the same examination and my fellow teachers. I taught them and they to me. In 2006 I took the car in Lebanon during the mission Leontes. It was another mass screening. "

But who ensures that the test does not hurt and is reliable?

"The bioscanner has the approval of the Higher Institute of Health, which has declared is not harmful. For each organ must then be a validation process at institutions accredited by the Ministry of Health. To the ovaries, the experiment started by the National Cancer Institute of Milan has shown a sensitivity index by 91%, which is particularly comforting, since it is a tumor that has no symptoms and is usually discovered when there are already metastases. At the same institute were tested tumors of the rectum: we sull'89% reliability. Tests for thyroid and stomach, duodenum, performed in University of Catanzaro, Genoa and more of the Navy hospital in Taranto, proved to be accurate to 90% and 100% in two cases. Tumors of the bladder, the hospital tested Fazio Vito di Lecce, have since returned safely in 89, 5% of cases. For prostate and the breasts are at 72%. "

The margin of error due to what?

"All'imperizia of who performs the examination and the fallibility of all diagnostic systems. Do not forget that an ultrasound can be wrong in 45% of cases, we might as well toss a coin in the air and make heads or tails. A study published in the journal Urology in 2008, and related to the diagnosis of prostate cancer, it appears that the bioscanner gave an accuracy of 72% compared to 55% of transrectal ultrasound, as invasive as annoying. "

The friends turn to her ailment to a minimum.

"Li diverted to hospitals. It is too heavy to discover that a person has a tumor and said doverglielo instantly. If the TRIMprob was given included the doctors, it would save billions of Euros spent on diagnostic tests often unnecessary. Unfortunately this is only on about 2,000 hospitals in 50 existing in Italy. "

and abroad?

"It is in Japan, Brazil, Malaysia, Turkey, Iran, United Kingdom, France, Belgium. But two years from the Galileo Avionics has stopped producing it and I'm left to pay the expenses for the maintenance international patent from China to South Africa from India to Canada. These costs are much higher than my salary. "

And to think that Galileo Avionica had gone to investigate the prostate even with bioscanner Beppe Grillo ...

"I think the TRIMprob was also tested on Umberto Bossi, who spoke well to Silvio Berlusconi."

bipartisan tool. "At this point, how do you say that exposure to electromagnetic fields has no effect on people?" Asked Grillo has run in his blog.

"The TRIMprob uses a power 100 times smaller than that of mobile phones: 10 milliwatts compared to 2 watts. But to be honest: the industry has no interest in disclosing the investigations that call for applying the precautionary principle to electromagnetism. "

I said that is not harmful bioscanner is certified?

"That's it. The test takes little or nothing, there is chronic exposure, and the frequency spectrum has a selective absorption on inflamed tissue, not healthy ones. "

and wireless connections are secure?

"by electromagnetism I developed a particular awareness of even weak electromagnetic fields. I noticed that my neighbor had changed the modem to connect to the Internet because I started to sleep badly. I turned on the spectrum analyzer and saw that he had installed a wi-fi. I asked him to at least turn it off at night and went back to sleep well. "

TRIMprob The risks making unnecessary the work of radiologists?

"No. Diagnostic imaging remains the standard. The bioscanner helps, gives the first alarm. For example, urologists who use it have greatly reduced the prescription of biopsies. "

But to retire mammograms to prevent breast cancer.

"If you want to condemn me to death, write like this."

Well, what bothers specialists?

"To all those who do not use it."

Someone has hindered?

"During a meeting at the Higher Institute of health, which had been accredited by the IEE Professor Veronesi, one of those present told me: "What? Witchcraft? ". I have argued that an industry that produces fighter hardly wastes time in voodoo rituals. The bioscanner is the car of the future. But I understand that it would be like talking of mobile phones in 1700. "

How is it possible that Italy will not be able to exploit the invention of an Italian?

"He wants to know something? I am a captain of a frigate precarious. I worked in the Navy just six months a year at the beginning without pay. E by July 2 will be dismissed because 55 years old, which is the age limit to join forces as an officer of completion. Yet this is the most fertile period of my life as an inventor, two patents, including omni-directional antenna for tactical satellite links used by the Italian contingent in Afghanistan, and four more ready. "

You will regret not having remained in the United States.

to escape you soon. Staying to fight in Italy, that is so by soldiers.
