Early and delayed quantified indices of double-phase Tc-99m MIBI SMM compared
June 2nd, 2005
Radiologists in South Korea have compared "the diagnostic accuracy and incremental diagnostic role of quantitative indices of early and delayed lesion to nonlesion ratios (L/Ns) in the detection of primary breast cancer." "Double-phase Tc-99m MIBI scintimammography (SMM) (early 10 minutes, delayed 3 hours) was performed after injection of 750 MBq of Tc-99m MIBI in 446 highly suspected breast cancer patients (malignant: 311, benign: 135).

Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analyses were performed to determine the...
