چکیده
detection of axillary lymph node metastases were 55%, 55%, 11% and 77% for SM, US, and specificity of SM for the palpable lesions (n=31) were 100% and 84% and for the nonpalpable lesions (n=15) were 75% , respectively. In conclusion, although the number of patients studied was small pinion of the authors that Tc-MIBI-SM has a much better sensitivity and less r 3 modalities and also an be included in the

Technetium-99m-MIBI scintimammography by planar and SPECT imaging in the diagnosis of breast carcinoma and axillary lymph node involvement.
BACKGROUND We compared SPECT and planar (99m)Tc-MIBI scintimammography (SMM) in the detection of primary breast cancer and metastatic axillary lymph node involvement, and the scintigraphic results with the histopathological/cytological findings. MATERIAL AND METHODS 303 consecutive patients with 308 suspicious or indeterminate lesions observed in mammographies were entered in this study. Afte...
متن کاملبررسی ارزش تشخیصی اسکن 99mTc-MIBI (Scintimammography) در بدخیمی های پستان
The breast cancer is common in females.Early detection with safe , convenient , noninvasive and accessible diagnostic tools are important. X- ray mammography is still the first choice imaging for breast cancer, but has low specificity and limited value in dense breast and surgically scarred breasts. In recent years , MIBI scintimammography has been used for this purpose. The...
متن کاملBreast cancer imaging: a new role of Tc-99m sestamibi prone scintimammography for diagnosisof breast cancer
Mammography remians the procedure of choice in screening asymptomatic women for breast cancer. However, in patients with symptoms, other types of imaging play an important role in the detection of malignancies. The high cost and lack of availability of PET and MRI largely precludes the use in this patient population. TI-201 is nbt the imaging agent of choice because of its wash-out and redistri...

PURPOSE To compare the potential application of (99m)Tc-3P-Arg-Gly-Asp ((99m)Tc-3P4-RGD2) scintimammography (SMM) and (99m)Tc-methoxyisobutylisonitrile ((99m)Tc-MIBI) SMM for the differentiation of malignant from benign breast lesions. METHOD Thirty-six patients with breast masses on physical examination and/or suspicious mammography results that required fine needle aspiration cytology biops...
متن کاملThe efficacy of 99mTc-MIBI scintimammography in the evaluation of breast lesions
www.nuclmed.gr To the Editor: With interest we read the paper by Özülker et al (2010) [1]. For more than 15 years, scintimammography has been tested against mammography, ultrasound and MRI of the breast. Scintimammography has repeatedly shown high specificity for breast lesions. Although sensitivity rates are also favorable, scintimammography is less useful in non-palpable tumors [2]. The above...
