Clinical significance of dual time point 99mTc-sestamibi breast-specific gamma imaging and 18F-FDG PET/CT for discriminating breast cancer

Conclusion: In differentiating between malignant and benign breast lesions, DTP BSGI parameters showed significantly higher sensitivity and accuracy than DTP PET/CT parameters. However, DTP PET/CT parameters had a tendency for improved specificity, while DTP PET/CT parameters had significantly higher sensitivity and accuracy when discriminating between IDC and DCIS. In conclusion, combined DTP BSGI and PET/CT have good diagnostic performance and are effective imaging techniques for determining malignant breast diseases and differentiating IDC from DCIS.
