Evaluation of the accuracy of prone lateral scinti mammography with 99m Tc-MIBI in diagnosis of breast cancer by using of special mattress

Background: Breast cancer is the most common malignancy and the second cause of cancer based death due to cancer in women. 99m Tc- Methoxyisobutylisonitrile (99m Tc-MIBI) is a radiopharmaceutical which detection of some maligncies such as breast cancer has been proven . This investigation was carried out to assess the diagnostic value of 99m Tc-MIBI scintimammography in detection of breast cancer and advantage of prone lateral view compared to common anterior views in women with breast mass in the nuclear medicine department of Taleghani hospital. Materials and methods: In a descriptive study,15 women with breast mass Results: Sensitivity, specificity and accuracy values of 99m Tc-MIBI scintimammography for breast carcinoma in supine anteror view were 75%, 100% and 81% position to prone and taking the lateral views from breasts, these values arised to 91%, 100% and 93% respectively. Conclusion: It seems 99m Tc-MIBI scintimammography is a valuable diagnostic modality for detection of breast cancer particularly in breasts with architectural distorition due to previous biopsy or surgical manipulation, however, sensitivity and accurcay of the test can be raised to higher values by using the prone lateral view.
