BSGI Can Reliably Detect Sub-Centimeter Lesions

Study results recently published in the Journal of Academic Radiology indicate that Breast-Specific Gamma Imaging (BSGI) provides higher sensitivity for the detection of ductal carcinoma In Situ (DCIS) than mammography or MRI and can reliably detect small, sub-centimeter lesions. The study, performed by Dr. Rachel Brem and colleagues at The George Washington University Medical Center, evaluated the technology on women with mammographically suspicious microcalicifications and other high risk factors.
