Abstract :
Bilateral diffuse intense breast uptake was noted in a 40 year old female who was evaluated with
Tc-99m sestamibi (MIBI) myocardial perfusion scan for possible ischemia. She was breast feeding
her 1.5 year old child. The intense uptake in the breasts was superimposed on the apical and
anteroapical regions of the myocardium and caused interpretation problem. We recommend
considering Tc-99m MIBI breast uptake during breast feeding as a possible cause of noninterpretable,
superimposition of radiotracer on the myocardium in myocardial perfusion scan.
