Fig. 1.

Photograph shows a dual-head molecular breast imaging system comprising two cadmium zinc telluride detectors mounted on modified mammographic gantry. To perform molecular breast imaging, the breast is lightly compressed between two detectors. When imaging the breast in craniocaudal position, detector 1 is located inferiorly and detector 2 is located superiorly to the breast. To image the breast in mediolateral oblique position, gantry is rotated so that detector 1 is located laterally and detector 2 is located medially to the breast.
