The American Journal of Roentgenology has published two separate studies this month demonstrating the clinical acceptance of Naviscan’s Positron Emission Mammography (PEM) scanner. The first study concluded that breast radiologists can achieve a high level of diagnostic performance in interpreting PEM images after a two-hour tutorial. The second study established a standard lexicon for the evaluation of PEM images.

Prospective data confirming the technical validity of image-guided needle biopsy of suspicious breast cancer lesions using Positron Emission Mammography (PEM) guidance has been published in the March/April issue of the Breast Journal.
