Mammography with molecular imaging

Breast screening with x-ray mammography has made a vital contribution to reducing deaths from breast cancer. Dr José Maria Benlloch of Spanish National Research Council and his partners in the MAMMI project (Mammography with Molecular Imaging) recognised this, but they were driven to push science and engineering further to develop machines dedicated exclusively to breast scanning. Now it is possible to radically improve the quality of imaging, detect cancer cells at a much earlier stage and monitor the effectiveness of the treatment more accurately. Read more here.
