Robotic Arm to Perform Long-Distance Breast Exams

Robotic Arm to Perform Long-Distance Breast Exams

Keeping with the "I don't have time to actually research tech sex stories since I'm moving so I'm taking what I can get" theme (though this should certainly appeal to all you medical fetishists out there)...

Because cold metal tables arn't creepy and uncomfortable enough, there is now a robotic arm capable of testing for breast exams. Sensors in the arm allow doctors to perform long distance mammograms using telecommunications. Other than being an amazing device to fight breast cancer and save lives, it's also interesting way of connecting people in a rather... personal situation.
