Accurate
mapping of newly diagnosed breast cancers (assisting
with lumpectomy vs. mastectomy decisions, including the
evaluation of the opposite breast)
Ruling
out cancer when the conventional work-up of exam, mammography,
and ultrasound leaves questions unanswered (either a
disparity in findings, or a multiplicity of inconclusive
findings)
Judging
the response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy
Distinguishing
scar from recurrent cancer in lumpectomy patients
Searching
for a primary cancer when axillary nodes are found to
harbor malignancy
Evaluating
for ruptured breast implants
Difficult
diagnostic problems in patients with breast implants
Pre-operative
study to rule out cancer prior to implants or reduction
surgery
High
Risk Screening (esp. in patients with dense tissue on
mammography)
