Breast-Specific Gamma Imaging Cost-Effective for Presurgical Planning
Breast-specific gamma imaging is a molecular breast imaging technique with comparable sensitivity to breast MRI for detecting breast carcinoma when used in presurgical planning for patients with known cancer diagnoses, and is considerably less expensive than MRI. More...12 Nov 2009
Diagnosing Tietze's Syndrome Requires a Combination of Imaging Modalities
A new study suggests that the only way to diagnose Tietze's syndrome, a painful disorder of the costal cartilage, is to use X-ray, CT, MRI, and nuclear medicine in combination as the only way to effectively diagnose the disease. More...09 Nov 2009
