Chris Kitcher can vividly recall the moment that a consultant radiologist showed him a scan image of the tumours in his prostate gland.
'There were just two tiny, dark spots — like worm bites in an apple,' says Chris, 69.
Back then, the lecturer from Hassocks, West Sussex, had no idea that this scan was very special indeed. He was looking at an mp (multi-parametric) MRI scan, dubbed by some the 'manogram'.
And now, a major study published in The Lancet has found that the technique radically improves the accuracy of prostate cancer diagnosis.
The charity Prostate Cancer UK has described it as a game-changer for men's health.
