99mTc-MIBI prone scintimammography in patients with high and intermediate risk mammography.
Mammographic lesions can be classified into categories of high (HR), intermediate (IR) and low risk of breast cancer. We have performed 99mTc MIBI scintimammography on 85 patients with high or intermediate risk lesions in order to verify its ability to diagnose cancer before biopsy. The scintimammography was performed in prone lateral view; all the patients were submitted to excisional biopsy. HR lesions showed 86% of cancers and scintigraphic accuracy of 0.81. The accuracy of scintimammography was 0.97 in lesions larger than 1 cm. IR lesions showed 47% of cancer with scintigraphic accuracy of 0.95. The scintigraphic sensitivity was 0.97 lesions larger than and 0.50 in lesion smaller than 1 cm, whereas the specificity was always about 90%. Our results suggest that scintimammography can substantially decrease the need of biopsy for breast cancer diagnosis.

[Breast scintigraphy with 99mTc-MIBI in the study of breast cancer].
BACKGROUND: The literature latest data point out the 99mTc-MIBI scintimammography role as a mammography diagnostic complement for a better nosologic definition of the breast nodular pathology. The object of this study is to evaluate the device sensibility and specificity with reference to the several dimensions of the neoplastic nodule. METHODS: A group of 50 patients, with breast nodule has been studied comparing scintimammography, mammography, echography and istological examination of the removed nodule. RESULTS: 38 nodules out of 50 were carcinomas, 22 were T1 and 16 T2. As far as scintimammography is concerned, the sensibility is 86% in T1 grade and 100% in T2 grade. The specificity is 91.6%. CONCLUSIONS: Since the mammography often need integration with invasive examinations, (aspiration biopsy, and biopsy) scintigraphy-mammography, global specificity 92%, is suggested as a second level examination in the mammary nodule diagnosis, for the simple performance and for the little risk for the patient.
