Table 2:

The radiation dose from BSGI/MBI compared to other diagnostic imaging techniques.

Figure 4:

Mammograms revealed no mass or spiculated lesion noted at the sight of the subtle dimpling and stable calcifications.

Figure 5:

BSGI showed a large area of increase uptake in the upper inner quadrant and other small intense focus at retroareolar region of the right breast.

Figure 6:

Second look ultrasound showed irregular hypoechoic mass at 6 o’clock position
