Temporal subtraction technique improves diagnostic accuracy, speed
By Jonathan S. Batchelor

Solid-state dual-head camera supercharges molecular breast imaging
By Jonathan S. Batchelor

But Mayo Clinic researchers may have overcome these drawbacks by developing a solid-state dual-head gamma camera for breast imaging.
