Molecular breast imaging (MBI) is a relatively new technique with high sensitivity for breast cancer detection. However, because it only provides limited anatomical information, cross-correlation of MBI findings with conventional breast imaging modalities such as full field digital mammography can be challenging. We report a case of a positive MBI study in a supplemental screening setting, where cross-correlation of MBI, ultrasound, mammogram and biopsy findings was difficult. Contrast-enhanced spectral mammography (CESM) demonstrated a hypervascular lesion at the biopsy clip, helping to prove imaging/histopathological concordance. This case highlights the challenges of incorporating MBI into conventional imaging workup, as well as the use of CESM in problem solving.
分子乳腺成像(MBI)是一种相对较新的技术,对乳腺癌检测具有高灵敏度。然而,由于它仅提供有限的解剖学信息,将MBI检查结果与传统乳腺成像模式(如全场数字化乳腺摄影)进行相互关联可能具有挑战性。我们报告了一例在补充筛查环境中MBI检查呈阳性的病例,其中MBI、超声、乳腺X线摄影和活检结果的相互关联存在困难。对比增强光谱乳腺摄影(CESM)显示活检夹处有一个血管丰富的病变,有助于证实影像/组织病理学一致性。该病例突出了将MBI纳入传统成像检查流程的挑战,以及CESM在解决问题中的应用。
