BACKGROUND: Mammography has a positive predictive value in the detection of breast
cancer of 15% to 25%. Ten percent of patients with breast cancer present with normal …

A prospective study was made of scintimammographic findings obtained in 75 patients with
minimal mammographic or physical examination findings. Patients included those with a …

The limit of detection of invasive carcinoma by scintimammography appears to be> 10 mm,
but not uncommonly smaller invasive carcinoma is detected in the presence of pre-invasive …

Background: In randomized trials, screening mammography has led to decreased mortality
from breast cancer. However, the low positive predictive value of mammography (ie, the …

Mammography, whilst remaining the first line imaging investigation of suspected primary
breast cancer, can be difficult to interpret in patients with fibrous or dense breasts …

Planar scintimammography (SM) acquired with a conventional γ camera has proved a useful
complementary tool to mammography (Mx) in breast cancer (BC) diagnosis, but with …

This study evaluated a novel high-resolution breast-specific gamma camera (HRBGC) for
the detection of suggestive breast lesions. Methods: Fifty patients (with 58 breast lesions) for …
