Low-dose positron emission mammography (PEM) can detect invasive breast cancer in a feasible manner, according to research published February 9 in Radiology: Imaging Cancer. This study underscores the potential of this low-dose PEM system as a promising imaging tool in breast cancer diagnosis,” the Freitas team wrote.

A team led by Joao Horvat, MD, from the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York found that CEM depicted 90% of breast cancers compared with 10% on low-energy mammograms alone and 50% on low-energymammogramswith whole-breast ultrasound. Horvat and co-authors investigated whether the same trend goes for CEM.

For dense-breasted patients requiring supplemental imaging, MRI remains a valuable option that is not limited by breast density and is shown to be more sensitive than mammography at finding breast cancer. Ultrasound rounds out the radiologist’s toolkit for supplemental imaging of women with dense breasts.
