In this work we compute the leading logarithmic corrections to the b -
-> sgamma decay in a dimensional scheme which does not require any def
inition of the gamma5 matrix. The scheme does not exhibit unconsistenc
ies and it is therefore a viable alternative to the 't Hooft Veltman s
cheme, particularly in view of the next-to-leading computation. We con
firm the recent results of Ciuchini et al.
