[Scintimammography with 99mTC-MIBI in the clinical practice: repercussion on the clinical management of the patient].

Objective: Establish the usefulness of scintimammography (SM) in day-to-day clinical practice.

Material And Methods: We have evaluated 308 SM consecutively performed in our Department. The diagnosis was established by way of biopsy or clinical and mammography follow-up (minimum 18 months).

Mammography and 99mTc-MIBI scintimammography in suspected breast cancer.

Unlabelled: The aim of this work has been to evaluate whether a diagnostic protocol based on the joint use of mammography and 99mTc-methoxyisobutyl isonitrile (MIBI) scintimammography is capable of reducing the number of biopsies required in patients with suspected breast cancer.

Methods: We performed prone scintimammography in 90 patients with suspected breast cancer, involving 97 lesions. In all patients, the diagnosis was established by way of biopsy.

[Gammography using Tc 99m MIBI in patients with suspected breast cancer. Proposed diagnostic protocol].

The aim of this work has been to determine whether the joint use of mammography and scintimammography is capable of reducing the number of biopsies required in patients with suspected breast cancer. We have performed scintimammography in 90 patients, 97 lesions, with breast cancer suspicion. In the mammography was evaluated the degree of malignancy suspicion and the size of the lesion.
