Abstract		Mammography and ultrasound are dominant modalities in evaluating patient suspected of breast cancer around the world and our country. But both of them has been shown to be inaccurate in patiens with the dense breast or in the breast where significant architectural distortion has occurred. Recent reports indicate methoxyisobutylisonitrile (MIBI) that rely on biochemical and physiological characteristics of tumor, to be promising in the evaluation of the patients whose mammograms are difficult to be evaluated.
Summary		Mamografija in ultrazvok sta v svetu in pri nas metodi izbora pri odkrivanju raka dojke. Pri bolnicah z gostimi dojkami, s cistično spremenjenimi, s fibrozno displazijo in nekaterimi drugimi spremembami pa ti dve metodi nista več zanesljivi. Novejše raziskave kažejo, da je izotopna mamografija z 99mTc MIBI (methoxyisobutylisonitrile), ki temelji na biokemičnih in fizioloških osnovah tumorja, dovolj dobra preiskava, da bo ta vrzel zapolnjena.
