title: 111In-bleomycin imaging of breast tumours.
abstract: Forty female patients with 15 malignant breast tumours and 25 benign growths, all verified histologically, were studied before surgery using mammography and 111In-Bleomycin scintigraphy. The patient was studied lying prone on a table with an opening so that one breast could hang in front of the gamma camera. The true positive and negative scintigraphy results are slightly poorer (70%) than the mammography results (80%) and there are more false negative scintigraphy interpretations mostly in small lesions.
