  Background: The diagnostic testing for breast cancer has been limited by the absence of a method, which can quantitatively differentiate tissue differences; specifically differentiation between calcium deposits, normal breast tissue, inflammatory changes in breast tissue and breast cancer. Such a quantitative method would remove the issue of sensitivity and specificity errors and allow for diagnostic decision-making including treatment monitoring. Method: A series of investigations were conducted over an 18-year period of time looking at more than 1000 women and men suspected of having breast tissue abnormalities. The studies compared pathologic tissue results with outcomes using other diagnostic studies and FMTVDM-BEST©â?? Imaging. The studies began with asking the fundamental questions necessary to produce such a quantitative diagnostic .. Read More»
