Certainty
SmartBreast MBI provides a 3-4x increase in early stage cancer detection in dense breasts compared with 2D- and 3D- mammography.

SmartBreast's MBI technology depicts rapidly growing early-stage cancer cells, producing strikingly distinctive images in even the most dense breasts, often long before late-stage anatomic changes can be seen with mammography or MRI.
Learn moreComfort
SmartBreast MBI's ergonomic design uses one or two cameras that immobilize the breast with gentle pressure, avoiding the crushing pain of mammography or the claustrophobia and noise of MRI.
Learn moreMBI Explained
MBI is a breast imaging technology that uses an intravenously injected cancer tracer and one or two gamma cameras to find areas of tracer uptake based on differences in cellular activity. Rapidly growing and dividing cells, such as cancer cells, take up the tracer and appear brighter than the less active healthy tissue. This is called "functional imaging" and is the SmartBreast difference that saves breasts and lives.
Learn moreWhat To Expect During An MBI With Eve Clear Scan
The cancer tracer is injected into the arm intravenously.
One breast is positioned between two gamma cameras (or between one gamma camera and a clear plastic plate) using minimal immobilizing pressure.
You remain still for a few minutes as an image is taken by the gamma camera(s).
Two images are usually taken for each breast, so you will be repositioned for each of the four images.
