Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Oncology
  • Medical Device Development

Background:

  • Molecular Breast Imaging (MBI) offers functional information for breast lesion detection.
  • Accurate targeting of lesions for biopsy is crucial for diagnosis and treatment planning.
  • Existing biopsy systems may have limitations in targeting MBI-identified lesions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a novel dual-detector Molecular Breast Imaging (MBI)-guided biopsy system.
  • To assess the feasibility, safety, and efficiency of this MBI-guided biopsy system in participants.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study utilized a dual-detector MBI system with a retractable upper detector for biopsy.
  • Lesion depth was calculated using triangulation and activity on both detectors.
  • Participants with suspicious breast lesions underwent MBI-guided biopsy after technetium 99m sestamibi injection.

Main Results:

  • The MBI-guided biopsy system was successfully implemented in 21 participants.
  • Seventeen participants had MBI-guided biopsies with concordant pathology, demonstrating diagnostic accuracy.
  • The average procedure time was 55 minutes, indicating efficiency.

Conclusions:

  • Dual-detector Molecular Breast Imaging (MBI)-guided biopsy with a retractable upper detector is feasible.
  • The system is well-tolerated and efficient for sampling breast lesions.
  • This technology represents a promising advancement in image-guided breast biopsy.
