title: [Scintimammography in breast cancer imaging].
abstract: Scintimammography is a rarely used method of breast cancer imaging. The aim of the study was to find its place among other radiological methods. Routine methods of breast cancer detection were compared considering their advantages and disadvantages. Scintimammography seems to be a promising complementary method. Indications for scintimammography are considered and suggestion of a diagnostic algorithm in breast cancer, including of this method is proposed.
