RSNA 2008: Breast Specific Gamma Imaging Detects Hidden Lesions

CHICAGO, Dec. 3 -- In women newly diagnosed with breast cancer, a follow-up study with breast specific gamma imaging detected additional lesions missed by mammography and physical exam.

Moreover, because the additional malignancies were identified before therapy was initiated, "breast specific gamma imaging provided information that determined important differences in therapy," said Rachel F. Brem, M.D., of the Breast Imaging and Interventional Center at George Washington University Medical Center in Washington.
