N2 - With modern MBI systems that have been optimized for breast imaging, the radiation dose from an MBI examination (2-2.5 mSv) is less than that received from annual background radiation and is therefore considered safe for use in routine screening.
AB - With modern MBI systems that have been optimized for breast imaging, the radiation dose from an MBI examination (2-2.5 mSv) is less than that received from annual background radiation and is therefore considered safe for use in routine screening.
