Greene Memorial Hospital is the first hospital in the Miami Valley region, and only the second hospital in Ohio, to offer the life-saving technology of Breast-Specific Gamma Imaging (BSGI) to our patients.
Why wait? BSGI eliminates the need for a 3 month or 6 month follow up and unnecessary biopsies.
BSGI is a follow-up exam to the traditional mammogram. It is an imaging procedure that helps doctors better differentiate cancerous from non-cancerous cells.
BSGI is a valuable tool for situations where mammography cannot answer all the questions and further evaluation is needed, especially when patients have:
- Dense breast tissue
- Multiple suspicious lesions or clusters of microcalcifications
- Lesions that can be felt but not detected with mammography or ultrasound
- Post-surgical or post-therapeutic mass
- Implants
- Been taking Hormone Replacement Therapy
BSGI is made possible by a unique camera - the Dilon 6800. This high-resolution camera creates clear pictures so your doctor can see cancers as small as 3 millimeters. It can detect early stage cancers, see lesions even in dense tissue, and provide multiple angle views. The result is quicker and more accurate detection of breast cancer than with mammography alone.
