Breast-Specific Gamma Imaging
Proven Peace of Mind
After the Mammogram
Mammography remains a women's critical first screening measure, but it can only indicate anatomical structure. BSGI images metabolic activity, aiding the differentiation of benign and malignant masses. The metabolic imaging of nuclear medicine is less effected by variations in tissue density, thereby offering a vital adjunct to mammography and ultrasound.
Integrating BSGI as a "next step measure" into the screening protocol allows for the effective management of suspicious and difficult-to-interpret cases. For the cases where mammography is weak in detecting lesions, BSGI is strong, especially when patients present with:
- Dense Breast Tissue
- Palpable lesions not detected by mammography or ultrasound
- Multiple suspicious lesions or clusters of calcifications
- Pre-biopsy evaluations of suspect areas
- Lobular carcinoma
- Implants
- Disease staging for breast conservation
- Post-surgical or post-therapeutic breast
- Difficult to interpret mammograms
