ABSTRACT:
A nuclear medicine technique for detecting and localizing carcinomas in the breasts of patients with dense breast. In the method, a patient with dense breast is administering a dose of Technetium-99m Sestamibi, or another nuclear medicine substance which selectively accumulates in breast carcinomas. The breast is then imaged with a nuclear medicine detector to image the carcinomas with the accumulated nuclear medicine agent and localize the carcinomas in real time and in three dimensions. The imaging can be done in a first plane with the detector perpendicular to a lateral side of the breast and also in a second plane parallel to the patient's chest wall.
