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).
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.
