Please see Orac’s (as usual, massively verbose) take on this subject. Bear in mind that breast cancer is his research topic.

Also bear in mind that not long ago he lost a relative to breast cancer.

D.C.,

Do you have a link to Orac on the subject, or useful keywords? I did a couple of quick searches and got nothing.

She doesn’t address the issue of false positives, although offhand, it looks like this technology would be less prone to them.

It’s an interesting approach for selective screening for tumors in general (using radionuclide imaging), and it’s already being used for some tests (the thyroid tumors come to mind), just not for breast cancer.
