متن کاملMammographic features and correlation with biopsy findings using 11-gauge stereotactic vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (SVABB).
BACKGROUND Mammograms are assigned a BI-RADS (Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System) category, which indicates the level of suspicion for cancer. OBJECTIVES (i) To evaluate the use of BI-RADS categories in a non-academic radiology practice based in a community hospital compared with local radiology private offices; (ii) to determine positive predictive value (PPV), sensitivity and specific...
