Overview
Brief Summary
This clinical trial tests how well molecular breast imaging (MBI) works to guide the collection of a breast biopsy in patients with a breast abnormality. Currently, a biopsy is often guided by either ultrasound or mammography in order to ensure that a sample of the correct part of the breast is taken. Sometimes a lesion or part of the lesion cannot be seen on ultrasound or mammography, and, therefore, a biopsy guided with ultrasound or mammography may not be always be accurate. Studies have shown that high resolution MBI may have potential to improve the detection of some breast tumors. This trial uses a new high-resolution MBI system that may help perform a biopsy using MBI.
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To evaluate a methodology for MBI-guided biopsy of suspicious breast lesions. OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 study parts. PART I: Patients receive technetium Tc-99m sestamibi intravenously (IV) and undergo MBI on study. PART II: Patients receive technetium Tc-99m sestamibi IV and undergo MBI. Patients whose breast lesions of interest are visualized on MBI then undergo breast biopsy using the Stereo Navigator accessory. After completion of study intervention, patients may be asked to follow up at 3-6 months.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change in image of lesion
Time Frame: Baseline; Up to 6 months
The coordinates of the lesion of interest on the high resolution MBI image will be recorded. The guidance procedure will be considered successful if 1) the pre and post images of the lesion demonstrated one of the following: decreased in size, central or eccentric defect where sampled, or decrease in intensity, or 2) pathology results demonstrate malignancy or a specific benign concordant result.
Accuracy of depth estimation by difference in apparent lesion size
Time Frame: Baseline; Up to 6 months
For each patient in whom pathology confirms successful sampling of the lesion seen on MBI, the error in depth estimation will be calculated as the average error for each depth estimation method from all core biopsy samples. This will allow comparison of the accuracy of the 3 different depth estimation methods and potentially provide further information on the strengths and weakness of each of the three methods for depth estimation. Uniformity activity along the entire 20 mm core would indicate failure to biopsy the lesion. Any portion of increased uptake will be noted and the center of activity will be determined relative to the mid-point of the core sample. This distance will be recorded as the difference between estimated depth and true depth.
Accuracy of depth estimation by difference in attenuation from opposing views
Time Frame: Baseline; Up to 6 months
For each patient in whom pathology confirms successful sampling of the lesion seen on high-resolution molecular breast imaging (MBI), the error in depth estimation will be calculated as the average error for each depth estimation method from all core biopsy samples. This will allow comparison of the accuracy of the 3 different depth estimation methods and potentially provide further information on the strengths and weakness of each of the three methods for depth estimation. Uniformity activity along the entire 20 mm core would indicate failure to biopsy the lesion. Any portion of increased uptake will be noted and the center of activity will be determined relative to the mid-point of the core sample. This distance will be recorded as the difference between estimated depth and true depth.
Validation of timeframe
Time Frame: Baseline
Time from injection of the technetium Tc-99m sestamibi to identification of the appropriate needle guide hole will be reviewed to determine if and where any improvements in workflow can be made to reduce the overall procedure time for patients.
Accuracy of depth estimation by triangulation
Time Frame: Baseline; Up to 6 months
For each patient in whom pathology confirms successful sampling of the lesion seen on MBI, the error in depth estimation will be calculated as the average error for each depth estimation method from all core biopsy samples. This will allow comparison of the accuracy of the 3 different depth estimation methods and potentially provide further information on the strengths and weakness of each of the three methods for depth estimation. Uniformity activity along the entire 20 mm core would indicate failure to biopsy the lesion.
