BSGI | Breast Specific Gamma Imaging Services in Miami

BSGI (aka: Breast Specific Gamma Imaging) is a specialized nuclear medicine procedure specifically designed for women with dense breast tissue or individuals at a higher risk of developing breast cancer. This innovative technology helps identify suspicious areas that may not be visible through a mammography or an ultrasound.

During a BSGI exam, a small amount of radioactive tracer is injected into a vein in your arm. The tracer is then absorbed by the cells in your breast tissue. A specialized gamma camera is used to capture images of your breasts; highlighting areas of increased metabolic activity, which could indicate the presence of abnormal cells.

This non-invasive procedure is particularly useful for evaluating breast lesions; monitoring responses to treatments; and guiding biopsies (if necessary). BSGI is safe and typically well-tolerated. And it offers a high level of accuracy in detecting breast cancer.

If you have dense breast tissue (or have had inconclusive results from mammograms or ultrasounds) BSGI could be a valuable imaging option for you. Take control of your breast health and schedule a BSGI exam with us today.
