OBJECTIVE. Given mammography's limitations in evaluating dense breasts, examination with breast-specific gamma imaging (BSGI)-also called molecular breast imaging (MBI)-has been proposed. We review the literature pertinent to the performance of BSGI in patients with dense breasts. CONCLUSION. Many studies have reported the sensitivity of BSGI in finding cancers even in dense breasts. However, BSGI has not yet been validated as an effective screening tool in large prospective studies. In addition, whole-body dose remains a significant concern.
目的。鉴于乳腺钼靶摄影在评估致密型乳腺方面存在局限性，有人提出采用乳腺专用γ成像（BSGI）——也称为分子乳腺成像（MBI）——进行检查。我们回顾了与致密型乳腺患者中BSGI性能相关的文献。结论。许多研究报告了BSGI在发现癌症方面的敏感性，即使是在致密型乳腺中。然而，在大型前瞻性研究中，BSGI尚未被证实为一种有效的筛查工具。此外，全身剂量仍然是一个重大问题。
