Molecular breast imaging (MBI) is a method for detecting breast cancer.
The technique is also known as a Miraluma (pronounced mee-ra-LOO-ma)
test, sestamibi (pronounced ses-ta-MI-bee), scintimammography, or breast
specific gamma imaging.
MBI uses a radioactive tracer that “lights up” any areas of cancer inside the breast. This tracer is injected into the body through a vein in the arm. Breast cancer cells tend to take up the radioactive substance much more than normal cells do. A special camera called a nuclear medicine scanner then scans the breast, looking for any areas where the radioactive substance is concentrated.
