DOI: 10.1007/s00330-020-06950-2
Abstract: Mammography (MMG) shows decreased diagnostic accuracy in dense breast tissue, and thus, ultrasonography (US) and breast-specific gamma imaging (BSGI) have gradually been adopted for women with mammographically dense breasts. However, these two adjunct modalities have… read more here.
