Positive BSGI Implant Case
Patient with implants presents with a palpable mass in the left breast. Images as seen by mammography, both a standard and a push-back view, and with BSGI. Pathology from an ultrasound-guided biopsy confirmed the presence of an infiltrating ductal carcinoma. Source: The Rose, Houston.  Multifocal Disease Occult in Clinical Examination, Ultrasound and Mammography Description: BSGI detected multifocal disease in a patient with a negative clinical examination, mammogram and ultrasound. Pathology revealed DCIS and positive axillary nodes. MRI enhancement in the right breast correlated with the known cancer and the same area of intense foal uptake in the BSGI; and in the left breast, BSGI indicated normal uniform distribution while MRI indicated enhancement in an area later confirmed to be negative by biopsy.
