ABSTRACT

ETACT is a new scintimammography technique used for imaging breast cancer. With this technique, earlier detection of cancerous tumors can potentially increase survival rates. ETACT can also be applied easily and practically into any hospital environment . We have performed a pre-clinical evaluation through simulation and phantom experiments.
