Microcalcifications which do not belong to focal lesions are a difficult diagnostic problem to solve with mammography. We investigated the yield of 99mTc-Sestamibi (MIBI) scintigraphy in the assessment of the benign or malignant nature of these lesions and compared nuclear medicine with histologic and immuno-histochemical findings.

Abstract

Microcalcifications which do not belong to focal lesions are a difficult diagnostic problem to solve with mammography. We investigated the yield of 99mTc-Sestamibi (MIBI) scintigraphy in the assessment of the benign or malignant nature of these lesions and compared nuclear medicine with histologic and immuno-histochemical findings.
