Bertrand Study Finds Significant Value in Breast-Specific Gamma Imaging (BSGI) as an Adjunctive Procedure in Breast Diagnostics

NEWPORT NEWS, Va., March 6 /PRNewswire/ -- A recent
study performed by Dr. Margaret Bertrand, Director of Breast
Imaging at Solis Bertrand Breast Center in Greensboro, North

Gamma Imaging (BSGI) as an adjunctive procedure in breast
diagnostics; specifically demonstrating BSGI to be a useful and
costeffective procedure in the breast diagnostic work up. The
study results were recently presented at the Miami Breast
Cancer Conference.

Breast-Specific Gamma Imaging is a molecular breast
imaging technique used for the early detection of breast cancer
and in the differentiation of and benign tumors. It relies
