Breast Scan
A breast scan is an imaging test to look at your breasts. It is used when a mammogram has not given your healthcare provider enough information.
A breast scan is a type of nuclear imaging test. This means that a tiny amount of a radioactive matter is used during the scan. The radioactive matter called tracer sends out gamma rays. These are picked up by the scanner to make a picture of your breasts.
The areas of the breast where the radioactive tracer collects in greater amounts are called “hot spots.” The areas that do not absorb the tracer and appear less bright on the scan image are referred to as “cold spots.” Cancer cells are usually the hot spots in a breast scan.

Breast Scan
Why might I need a breast scan?
You may need a breast scan if the results of a mammogram are uncertain. Or your healthcare provider may use a breast scan along with mammography.
Your healthcare provider may order a breast scan if he or she thinks you have any of the following:
- Tumor
- Infection (abscess)
- Collection of blood called hematoma
- Cyst
Your healthcare provider may also order a breast scan to see how well blood is flowing through your breast tissue.
If you have breast cancer, a breast scan can help figure out the stage of your cancer. Your healthcare provider may also use the scan as a follow-up after surgery, chemotherapy, or other breast cancer treatment.
Your healthcare provider may have other reasons to recommend a breast scan.

Breast Scan FAQ's
A screening test is used to find conditions in people who do not have signs or symptoms. This allows early treatment.
In the United States, one in eight women will develop breast cancer by age 75 years. Regular breast screening can help find cancer at an early and more curable stage. Screening also can find problems in the breasts that are not cancer.
The day of your test you should not wear powders, lotions, or deodorants. Most of these products have substances that can show on the X-ray. They can make your mammogram hard to interpret.
