The Dilon 6800 performs a molecular breast imaging technique calledBreast-Specific Gamma Imaging (BSGI), which can detect lesions independent oftissue density and discover very early stage cancers. BSGI serves as acomplementary diagnostic adjunct procedure to mammography and ultrasound fordifficult-to-diagnose patients. With BSGI, the patient receives a radioactivetracing agent that is absorbed by all the cells in the body. Cancerous cellsin the breast, due to their increased rate of metabolic activity, absorb agreater amount of the tracing agent than normal healthy cells, and generallyappear as "hot spots" on the BSGI image.
Amerinet strategically partners with healthcare providers to reduce costsand improve the delivery of quality care. Supported by a team of clinical,data and supply chain experts, Amerinet offers a suite of tools, programs andservices including a comprehensive and competitive portfolio that deliverspractical solutions to address members' specific needs.
