Molecular Breast Imaging Using Tc99m-Sestamibi and Breast Optimized Detector Systems

Main Article Content

Douglas A. Kieper

Abstract

Mammography and ultrasound are common anatomical imaging procedures used to detect breast cancer. While screening mammography, especially when combined with ultrasound, has demonstrated the ability to detect non-palpable breast cancer, these modalities still suffer from some significant limitations.
