The Breast Cancer Imaging Outreach Working Group will focus on increasing awareness among patients and referring clinicians about imaging procedures for breast cancer such as FDG PET, estrogen receptor imaging (FES PET), molecular breast imaging (MBI), and sentinel lymph node mapping, and their appropriate uses; providing updated patient materials for the website and patient education events; and educating legislators, regulatory officials, and funding bodies.
SNMMI, with the support of the Breast Cancer Imaging Outreach Working Group, offers a number of resources for patients and referring physicians, including:
FES PET/CT for Breast Cancer Patients: Understanding Your Scan and Your Report
Informative handout for patient audiences, and also for referring physicians as a resource they can provide to their patients when ordering an FES-PET scan.
