OBJECTIVE Molecular breast imaging techniques, such as breast-specific gamma imaging, are increasingly being used as adjunctive diagnostic technologies to mammography and ultrasound. This multicenter clinical patient registry was designed to quantify the impact of this modality on the management of the breast patient population in clinical practice and to identify the subgroups of patients bene...

The purpose of this study was to compare the sensitivity and specificity of breast-specific gamma imaging (BSGI) using a high-resolution breast-specific gamma camera and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with indeterminate breast findings. Twenty-three women with an indeterminate breast finding that required BSGI and MRI as deemed necessary by the interpreting radiologist or referrin...

Colchicine as a vascular disrupting agent creates microtubule destabilization whichinduces vessel blockage and consequently cell death. Accordingly, colchicines and itsanalogues radiolabeled with 99mTc may have potential for visualization of tumor. In this work,deacetylcolchicine a colchicine analogue was labeled with 99mTc via tricine as a coligandand characterized for its tumor targeting prop...

Introduction:The accuracy of positron emission tomography with computed tomography (PET/CT), positron emission mammography (PEM), and breast specific-gamma imaging (BSGI) in diagnosing breast cancer has never been systematically assessed, the present systematic review was aimed to address this issue.  Methods:PubMed, Scopus and EMBASE were searched for st...

mri of the breast has evolved as a non-invasive imaging modality and is ideally suited for several indications e.g. pre-operative staging and screening in women at increased risk for breast cancer. the widespread use opens also the discussion on over-diagnosis if only 20 - 30 out of 100 mri - guided breast biopsies lead to the diagnosis of breast cancer. thus mri based strategies are needed to ...
