Innovative Breast Imaging Technique Shows Promise in Detecting Cancer
A new breast imaging technique, low-dose positron emission mammography (PEM), has been found to provide high sensitivity for detecting cancer while significantly reducing the likelihood of false positive results. The study suggests that PEM could revolutionize breast cancer detection and potentially offer more reliable screening for a broader range of patients, with comparable performance to MRI but at a lower false positive rate and with a radiation dose comparable to that of traditional mammography.
