Molecular Imaging Is Changing the Course of Breast Cancer Treatment
For difficult-to-diagnose patients, a new imaging technology called breast-specific gamma imaging has been found to be a more useful adjunctive imaging tool than ultrasound for patients who need additional imaging following a questionable mammogram. More...17 Dec 2008
Better Treatment Options for Breast Cancer in Women with Implants
Women with early-stage breast cancer who have undergone breast augmentation may be treated successfully with a partial-breast radiation treatment that can be given in higher doses to a small, targeted area of the breast. More...17 Dec 2008
PET Impact Found Consistent Across Cancer Types and Imaging Indications
New data provided by PET imaging were found to affect how clinicians manage their cancer patients' care regardless of the cancer type and reason for ordering this imaging scan, according to results from a U.S. PET registry. More...02 Dec 2008
