A new ultrasound technique is being hailed as the biggest breakthrough in the technology for more than 60 years.

Researchers believe its ability to precisely pinpoint tumours could one day replace biopsies in investigating suspected cancer cases.
The method, which is about to begin trials in human patients, uses existing scanning equipment.
