  1. Multi-Modality Imaging Laboratory Department of Radiology Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC, USA Comparison of Scintimammography and Dedicated Emission Mammotomography Martin P.

  2. Overview • Develop a “universal” breast phantom for emission and/or transmission imaging • Needs to be compressible for uncompressed and partial compression imaging comparisons • Needs to accommodate inserted lesions • Needs to have physical attributes similar to human torso • Make direct comparison of uncompressed breast SPECT and compressed scintimammography • Develop and compare various fillable lesion sizes • Compare different activity concentrations

  18. Conclusions • Developed a compressible breast+chest phantom useful for comparative emission breast imaging with physical limitations more consistent with a human torso • Measured various lesion sizes, locations (esp. near chest wall), and activity concentrations relative to backgrounds • Compared compressed breast, planar scintimammography with uncompressed breast SPECT mammotomography • Scintimammography has limited viewable breast volume towards the anterior chest wall Under a wide range of “low noise” measurement conditions: More lesions, lesion sizes, and (3D) lesion locations can be detected (and thus quantitated) with dedicated emission mammotomography than with compressed breast scintimammography
