99Tcm-sestamibi scintimammography in patients with suspicious breast lesions: comparison of SPET and planar images in the detection of primary tumours and axillary lymph node involvement.

abstract：:A miniature, non-imaging caesium iodide nuclear probe optically coupled to a photodiode (the 'Cardioscint') has been developed which, in conjunction with a modified personal computer, is capable of continuous on-line monitoring of left ventricular function and ST-segment level at the bedside. The purpose of this study...
