Note—MBI = molecular breast imaging, IDC = invasive ductal carcinoma, ILC = invasive lobular carcinoma in situ, DCIS = ductal carcinoma in situ.
In addition to the invasive cancer detected only on MBI, a mammographically occult 5.0-cm high-grade DCIS was detected by MBI in the contralateral breast.
In addition to the invasive cancer detected only on MBI, a mammographically occult 0.8-cm low-grade DCIS was detected by MBI in the contralateral breast.
