A doctor who specializes in imaging techniques (radiologist) reviews the images from your molecular breast imaging test. A member of your health care team will contact you to discuss the results.

Molecular breast imaging records how much of the radioactive tracer is absorbed by your breast tissue. Areas that absorb more tracer appear as bright spots on the images. If a suspicious concentration of tracer is found, your doctor may recommend additional testing and possibly a breast biopsy to determine whether the area is cancer.
