Positron Emission Mammography (PEM)scanners are high resolution breast scanning systems that can determine the location of lesions and tumors and well as distinguish between theirmetabolic phases.

The PEM scanners are advantageousover MRIs for those who cannot undergo MRI scans for reasons such asclaustrophobia, metallic implants, or adverse reactions togadolinium-based contrast agents. In addition, PEM scans havesignificantly more precision in identifying malignant and benignlesions than do MRI scans. Therefore, they reduce the overall numberof unnecessary biopsies used to identify suspicious lesions asbenign.
