Wonder if any body had statistics in India, as to how many women are diagnosed to have Breast Cancer through SCREENING ( these women should be Asymptomatic and not have any symptoms or feeling of Lumps in their breasts) as opposed to having a mammogram after a lump is felt.

My guess is 1:100 but may be wrong.

MBI is certainly an enhanced and superior form of supplemental Imaging to a Mammogram which should be restricted to strictly women with dense Breasts usually seen in women < 40 years of age.
