Molecular breast imaging (MBI) technologists are required to possess a combination of nuclear medicine skills and mammographic positioning techniques. Currently, no formal programs offer this type of hybrid technologist training. The purpose of this perspective is to provide a best practices guide for technologists performing MBI. Familiarity with best practices may aid in obtaining high-quality MBI examinations by decreasing the likelihood of image artifacts, positioning problems and other factors that contribute to false negative or false positive findings.
分子乳腺成像(MBI)技术人员需要具备核医学技能和乳腺X线摄影定位技术。目前,没有正式的项目提供这种混合型技术人员培训。本文观点的目的是为进行MBI的技术人员提供一份最佳实践指南。熟悉最佳实践可能有助于通过降低图像伪影、定位问题和其他导致假阴性或假阳性结果的因素的可能性,来获得高质量的MBI检查。
