3D imaging helps diagnose 1.7-million-year-old cancer
Cancer is often thought to be a product of modern times and lifestyles, but researchers have discovered what they believe is the earliest case of malignancy -- in a fossil from an early human ancestor who lived about 1.7 million years ago. The key to diagnosing this ancient cancer was advanced 3D imaging technology.

The first-known hunters on the continent can now be dated back nearly 14,000 years, according to a recent study in the journal Science.

Recently, however, a team of Italian and Swiss researchers determined the iceman's exact cause of death using multidetector-row CT (MDCT).
