Breast-specific gamma imaging (BSGI) is an adjunct modality for breast imaging that, like MRI, uses a physiologic approach to identify lesions in the breast. BSGI has shown sensitivity of 96.4%, comparable with MRI [10], and specificity of 93.3%, greater than MRI [11].
What are the different types of breast imaging?
The most commonly used breast imaging tests at this time are mammograms, ultrasound, and breast MRI. Newer types of tests are now being developed for breast imaging. Some of these, such as breast tomosynthesis (3D mammography), are already being used in some centers.
Is digital mammography better than regular mammography?
Indeed, the DMIST study found that digital imaging was no more accurate, overall, than standard mammography in detecting breast cancer in women over age 50 and in those who don’t have dense breasts or who are no longer menstruating.
