Dual-Head Gamma Camera Significantly Increases Ability To Detect Breast Tumors Not Se

One-hundred fifty patients who had suspicious lesions smaller than 2 cm in size were imaged using dual-head molecular breast imaging. "There were 128 cancers confirmed in 88 patients," according to Carrie B. Hruska, MD, lead author of the study.
