In the<unk>  procedure, a woman receives an injection of a<unk> all amount of a radioactive substance which is taken up by cancer cells, and a gamma camera is used to take pictures of the breasts. Technetium-99m sestamibi (99mTc-MIBI) is the most commonly used radiopharmaceutical. When performed with MIBI the procedure may also be known as a Miraluma test. The typical dose is 740–1,110 megabecquerels (MBq) with the patient lying prone on the bed for imaging approximately 10 minutes after injection. 99mTc-DMSA and 99mTc-MDP may also been used, but provide less sensitive results.
