18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose specimen-positron emission mammography delineates tumour extension in breast-conserving surgery: Preliminary results

ConclusionsSpecimen-PEM detected invasive andin situ lesions with high accuracy and allowable radiation exposure.Key points• Specimen-PEM detected invasive and in situ lesions with high accuracy.• Specimen-PEM predicted complete resection with the same accuracy as frozen section analysis.• Breast-conserving surgery after fluorodeoxyglucose injection was performed with low medical staff exposure.
