Breast-specific gamma imaging or ultrasonography as adjunct imaging diagnostics in women with mammographically dense breasts

ConclusionsFor women with mammographically dense breasts, MMG plus BSGI or US can improve the diagnostic accuracy. In addition, BSGI has high specificity and could reduce invasive biopsies and thus may represent a viable diagnostic imaging alternative for mammographically dense breasts.Key Points• Both BSGI and US can be applied as adjunct imaging diagnostics in women with mammographically dense breasts.• The diagnostic accuracy of MMG plus BSGI was higher than that of MMG plus US.• BSGI has the potential to be used as an adjunct diagnostic modality in women with mammographically dense breasts.
