99mTc carbonyl t-butyl isonitrile: a potential new agent for myocardial perfusion imaging.

abstract：:Mammography is the screening test of choice for breast cancer. Its low specificity leads to a large number of unnecessary biopsies. Scintimammography, with either Tc-sestamibi (MIBI) or Tc-anti-carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) Fab', has been proposed as a non-invasive test to lower the high false positive rate of mammog...
