That's being done as we speak -- I think it's even with gamma rays. The
old way

but gamma rays, like neutrons, protons, alpha rays and beta rays can cause
cancer; radio waves seems not until now

was lethal to everything in its beam in a straight path. So now they
combine a
lot of non-lethal rays from different angles; on their crossing point,
everything is destroyed, and the other tissue is safe.

OTOH locating malignant tissue is not as simple as shown on the
television.
Theoretically, the resolution is that of individual hydrogen atoms (these
get
all excited by the NMR and output a distinct radio signal). The limiting
factor
is the amount of detectors to gather all that information -- /their/
resolution
is much lower, you can't "zoom in" on individual cells.
And you can't tell good from bad by just looking at the hydrogen.
