Molecular Breast Imaging (MBI) is an emerging breast-specific nuclear medicine imaging technique that uses a small field-of-view dual-headed semiconductor-based gamma camera in a mammographic configuration specifically designed to obtain high resolution images of 99mTc-sestamibi uptake in the breast. Modern MBI systems incorporate a number of technological innovations that leads to improved image quality and lower radiation doses. MBI is poised to make substantial contributions in the detection and managements of patients with breast cancer.
Learning Objectives:
1. To become familiar with the historical developments on MBI
2. To understand the technological advances in MBI systems that leads to improved image quality and lower radiation doses
3. To become familiar with clinical role of MBI for patients with breast cancer
