Molecular imaging is a multimodality discipline for noninvasively visualizing biologic processes at the subcellular level. Clinical applications of radionuclide-based molecular imaging for breast cancer continue to evolve. Whole-body imaging, with scintimammography and PET, and newer dedicated breast imaging systems are reviewed. The potential clinical indications and the challenges of implementing these emerging technologies are presented.
分子成像是一门多模态学科,用于在亚细胞水平无创可视化生物过程。基于放射性核素的分子成像在乳腺癌中的临床应用不断发展。本文综述了使用乳腺闪烁显像和正电子发射断层显像(PET)的全身成像以及更新的专用乳腺成像系统。介绍了这些新兴技术的潜在临床应用指征和实施面临的挑战。
