There is growing interest in application of functional imaging modalities for adjunct breast imaging due to their unique ability to evaluate molecular/pathophysiologic changes, not visible by standard anatomic breast imaging. This has led to increased use of nuclear medicine dedicated breast-specific single photon and coincidence imaging systems for multiple indications, such as supplemental screening, staging of newly diagnosed breast cancer, evaluation of response to neoadjuvant treatment, diagnosis of local disease recurrence in the breast, and problem solving. Studies show that these systems maybe especially useful for specific subsets of patients, not well served by available anatomic breast imaging modalities.
由于功能成像模式具有评估标准解剖乳腺成像无法显示的分子/病理生理变化的独特能力，因此人们对其在辅助乳腺成像中的应用越来越感兴趣。这导致核医学专用乳腺单光子和符合成像系统的使用增加，用于多种适应症，如补充筛查、新诊断乳腺癌的分期、新辅助治疗反应的评估、乳腺局部疾病复发的诊断和问题解决。研究表明，这些系统对于特定的亚组患者可能特别有用，这些患者不能很好地接受现有的解剖乳腺成像方式。
