PEM is one molecular breast imaging method that has shown promise in lowering the number of false-positive cases, owing to its superior specificity over MRI. However, PEM’s higher radiation dose has steered radiologists away from using the modality. A) Craniocaudal mammogram of the right breast does not show any lesion. (B)

Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has said CT is still the preferred imaging modality for patients with medical devices. In an October 15 communication , the agency said it had received reports of electronic medical devices being damaged during CT scans due to radiation. Read the FDA's full guidance here.

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. vi Investigations continue of this newer imaging modality, which has the potential to positively benefit patients with dense breasts.

Since almost half of the screening population has dense breasts, many of these patients require additional breast imaging, often with MRI , after mammography. Low-dose positron emission mammography (PEM) is a novel molecular imaging technique that provides improved diagnostic performance at a radiation dose comparable to that of mammography.

3) The British Röntgen Society (the first radiology society) was founded in 1897, and many further studies on X-ray usage and the effects of radiation were performed over the following years. (3) 15) Radiologists needed a common means for sharing images. 3) This is what is known as tomography.
