Part 1: project profile
Project name
Lung Cancer Detection by an Electronic Nose
Project short description
The electronic nose is an instrument able to detect and recognize odors, that is the volatile substances in the atmosphere or emitted by the analyzed substance. In this project, we use an electronic nose based on an array of six MOS sensors, to recognize the presence of lung cancer in breaths' subjects, diagnosing the disease with a non invasive and low cost method.
The next objective of the research consists in understanding how early the electronic nose is able to detect the presence of lung cancer, performing in such a way an early diagnosis.

Laboratory work and risk analysis
Laboratory work for this project will be mainly performed at the Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori di Milano, where the acquisistion of subjects' breath, both sick and healthy will be done. For this kind of work, there are not potential risks.
Part 2: project description
Put here all the scientific and technical information about the project. Feel free to insert titles and sections as needed. Remember that here you can find help about wiki syntax.
Just to give you some ideas:
- state of the art;
- preliminary studies and sketches;
- design notes and guidelines;
- link to project documents and files (you can upload them using the Special:Upload page);
- description and results of experiments;
- photos and videos (they must have been uploaded with Special:Upload before you can insert them into this page);
- link to source code of the software written for the project (you can upload it with Special:Upload);
- advice about the configuration and the use of hardware and software;
- useful internet links;
- anything else that you think is useful to describe the project or could help people who will work on it in the future. Think about what you would have liked to find clearly explained when you started your work, instead of discovering it all by yourself the hard way. (By the way, if some of those missing information belong to other pages of this wiki, please update those pages: future users will be grateful.)
