More on Bone Scan Index (BSI):
BSI is an imaging biomarker providing fast, accurate and quantifiable information to be used for diagnosis and stratification and the monitoring of treatment response. It also provides increased accuracy in prognoses involving patients suffering from skeletal metastases originating from prostate- or breast cancer.
What is more, BSI has demonstrated its importance in the process of developing new drugs, thus proving itself just as important for clinical use as for the pharmaceutical industry. EXINI boneBSI is the only software capable of extracting BSI-values for both these purposes.
