Breast Cancer Clinical Trial
Screening in Myocardial Perfusion Patients
Summary
To expand the understanding of the uptake and distribution of Tc-99m sestamibi in the breast in a normal female population undergoing myocardial perfusion imaging using Molecular Breast Imaging (MBI).
Full Description
You are being asked to take part in this research study because you have been scheduled to have a scan of your heart. The radioactive dye used to image your heart is also taken up by many types of breast cancer. The investigators have developed a new method for detecting breast cancer, called Molecular Breast Imaging that uses this dye.
The purpose of this study is to see how well this new method works in normal subjects with no known breast cancer and to see if we can detect breast cancer at an earlier stage than mammography. As you read this form describing the study, ask any questions you have. Take your time to decide. Feel free to discuss the study with your family, friends, and healthcare provider before you decide.
