Innovative Technology

The Dilon 6800^® overcomes the limitations of standard gamma cameras through a patented detector that:

helps practitioners determine the presence of cancer
produces high contrast images of significantly smaller lesions
allows imaging close to the chest wall
images all standard mammographic views for direct correlation to mammograms
allows patients to sit comfortably throughout the process

The Dilon 6800 Gamma Camera captures vital information by viewing the increased metabolic activity of lesions in the breast. This highly advanced camera enables optimized molecular breast imaging with a high-resolution, small field-of-view detector for image acquisition.

The functional imaging of BSGI allows physicians to see the breast more clearly by accessing a map of cellular metabolism. Certain types of breast tissue may interfere with cancer detection. Exhibiting a high sensitivity and specificity, BSGI serves an ideal complementary diagnostic procedure to mammography.
