WHY:

Gamma Medica recently announced growth across the U.S., with global expansion set for 2017 to bring its LumaGEM (MBI) system to more leading health care facilities, giving women critical access to accurate secondary breast cancer screenings options. This growth coincides with the company’s educational Be Certain campaign, aiming to eliminate myths and raise awareness about the facts on breast cancer detection and breast health. Detecting breast cancer in dense breast tissue (affecting 50 percent of U.S. women) can be like looking for a snowflake in a snowstorm, as dense tissue and cancerous growths both show white on mammograms, as well as yield high false positives via other common screening methods. Molecular imaging technology is changing that, so every woman – no matter her breast density – can get a fair and accurate diagnosis. Secondary screenings are an important part of early breast cancer detection. MBI was specifically designed to detect cancer in dense breast tissue.

 

About Gamma Medica, Inc.
Gamma Medica, Inc. is a women’s health company focused on overcoming the limitations of anatomical imaging experienced by mammography and other screening modalities in the early detection of breast cancer, with women who have dense breast tissue. The company’s LumaGEM® MBI system is the first commercially available, FDA-cleared, fully solid-state digital imaging system utilizing dual-head Digital Direct Conversion Gamma Imaging™ (DDCGI™) technology for molecular breast imaging. With over 90 percent sensitivity and specificity, LumaGEM MBI has been shown to significantly improve cancer detection in women with dense breast tissue with fewer false positives relative to anatomical imaging technologies, such as MRI and whole breast ultrasound.
