About Mammi
Mammi is a dedicated breast PET. PET (Positron Emission Tomography) is a non-invasive imaging technique, which generates functional images to see what really matters: the breast tissue metabolism. Malignant tissue metabolism is greatly elevated in most breast cancers.
Mammi obtains functional breast images, where most other breast imaging techniques (e.g. mammography, tomosynthesis, ultrasound) provide morphological images.
Mammi’s high resolution (down to 1.6 mm), allows visualizing of small tumors which is essential in early stage diagnosis of breast cancer. Also, Mammi is a very useful technique for the oncologist to measure the response of the tumor to neo-adjuvant or adjuvant therapy, offering the possibility to adjust the therapy at an early timepoint.
