Comparison of 99mTc-Sestamibi scintimammography and dynamic MR imaging as adjuncts to mammography in the diagnosis of breast cancer

Abstract: If high sensitivity and spatial resolution are needed, CE-MRI is to be preferred in clinical practice as an adjunct to mammography, rather than scintigraphy.

“…There have been several studies comparing scintimammography utilizing a conventional gamma camera with MRI. A common issue in these studies is the limited intrinsic spatial resolution when using a conventional gamma camera where cancers less than 1 cm cannot be reliably seen (16,17). In our study, the smallest cancer detected measured 3 mm.…”

“…The sensitivity of CEA was 6.6% and that of CA15-3 was 5.6%. In the case of mammography, Bone et al, reported a sensitivity of 83.9% and a specificity of 63.3% in 81 patients with breast cancer and 30 healthy subjects [ 33 ]. Malur et al, reported that 155 of 235 patients were positive (sensitivity of 65.9%) and 144 of 204 healthy controls were negative (specificity of 70.6%) [ 34 ].…”
