Performance of <sup>99m</sup> Tc-Sestamibi Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography/Computed Tomography for Characterizing Renal Masses: Combined Results From a Prospective Scan-and-Resect Trial and Clinical Experience
<sup>99m</sup>Tc-sestamibi SPECT/CT is a novel method to effectively risk-stratify indeterminate renal masses. As with any nonsurgical method for renal mass characterization, there are potential false positives and false negatives, and those should be weighed carefully in shared decision-making with the patient to guide further evaluation and management.
