Title & Information
|
1. Molecular Breast Imaging: A Comparison of Breast-Specific Gamma Imaging (BSGI) —
Mammography and Ultrasound in the Diagnostic Patient
Study shows BSGI has greater sensitivity and comparable specificity when compared to ultrasound and mammography.
Monday, Nov. 28, 8:30 a.m. - 12 p.m. Location: Arie Crown Theater - Ref: MSVM21-08
- Multisession courses presented by Jean M. Weigert, M.D., Margaret L. Bertrand, M.D., Leora Lanzkowsky, M.D., Lillian H. Stern, M.D. (Authors presence to be determined.)

2. BSGI for the Detection of Breast Cancer in Dense vs. Non-Dense Breasts
This abstract shows that BSGI, unike mammography, is effective for detecting breast cancer in dense and non-dense breasts.
Monday, Nov. 28, 8:30 a.m. - 12 p.m. Location: Arie Crown Theater - Ref: MSVM21-12
- Multisession course presented by Rachel F. Brem, M.D., Caitrin M. Coffey, BS, Jocelyn A. Rapelyea, M.D., Jessica Torrente, M.D., Jennifer H. Lieberman, BA, Megan R. Kann, BA, Anita McSwain, M.D., MPH, Christine Teal. (Authors presence to be determined.)

3. BSGI is Equivalent to Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in the Detection of Breast
Cancer
BSGI was found to be equivalent to MRI as an adjunct imaging modality in the diagnosis of breast cancer; and may be especially useful for high-risk women or those with dense breasts.
Tuesday, Nov. 29, 12:15 p.m. - 1:15 p.m. Location: Lakeside Learning Center - Ref: LL-BRS-TU3B
- Presented by E. Han, M.D., N. Johnson, M.D., M. Glissmeyer, W. Johnson, M.D.
|
4. Evaluation of the Impact of BSGI on Presurgical Planning for Patients with Newly
Diagnosed Breast Cancer
This abstract shows that BSGI can provide critical information in the initial diagnostic workup and surgical planning for patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer.
Tuesday, Nov. 29, 12:15 p.m. - 1:15 p.m. Location: Lakeside Learning Center - Ref: LL-BRS-TU5B
- Poster presentation by M. Phillips, M.D., M. Tartar, M.D.
|
5. The Efficacy of BSGI with 99mTc-Sestamibi in the Diagnosis of Breast Cancer According
to Breast Density for Korean Women
This study finds that BSGI is superior to mammography in terms of sensitivity, and superior to ultrasound in terms of specificity, and is less affected by breast density.
Tuesday, Nov. 29, 12:15 p.m. - 1:15 p.m. Location: Lakeside Learning Center - Ref: LL-BRS-TU4A
- Poster presentation by Lee, Seoul, J. Lee, J. Chang, W. Lim, B. Kim, B. Moon
|
6. BSGI: A Retrospective Review of One Institution’s Experience with This Modality and
Analysis of its Potential Role in Breast Imaging Decision Making
This presentation will focus on the usefulness of BSGI in decision making at the Lahey Clinic in Burlington, Mass.
Education Exhibit | Location: Lakeside Learning Center - Ref: LL-BRE4356
- Presented by D. Morris, M.D., E. C. Siegal, M.D., P. M. Morris, M.D., E. Angelakis, M.D., E. Pinkus, M.D.

7. Radiation Dose from Nuclear Medicine Breast Imaging (Breast-Specific Gamma Imaging
and Molecular Breast Imaging): Should We Be So Afraid of the Gamma-Ray?
A review of the radiation dose associated with Technetium99m-Sestamibi relative to that of other diagnostic imaging modalities. Findings: benefits of accurate diagnosis outweigh risks associated with radiation exposure; lower doses may be possible with new gamma cameras.
Education Exhibit | Location: Lakeside Learning Center - Ref: LL-BRE4407
- Presented by D. A. Kieper, BS, Hampton, Va. (Author presence to be determined.)
