ELASTOSONOGRAPHY OF 72 BREAST LESIONS

Conventional ultrasound integrated with elastosonography and B-flow imaging in the diagnosis of thyroid nodular lesions.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the sonographic features of thyroid nodules suspicious for malignancy with standard examination in B-mode and Color Doppler associated with modern techniques such as ultrasound RTE (Real Time Elastosonography) and BFI (B-flow imaging) in correlation with the results of the sonographically guided fine-needle aspiration to establish their role in predicti...

Quantitative elastosonography in the diagnosis of breast nodules: assessment of a multiparametric analysis

Lesions of Breast

Eighty-five specimens of breast tissue were grouped and investigated by the technic of mixed cell agglutination reation (MCAR) for studying isoantigens A, B and H (0). MCAR was found to be strongly positive at the epithelium of acini in all the 25 subjects with benign lesions (10 fibroadenomas, 10 cystic mastitis and 5 gynecomastias). On the other hand, all the subjects with diagnosis of primar...

The Role of Elastosonography in the Differentiation of Parotid Gland Lesions: Report of Three Cases and Review of the Literature

BACKGROUND The parotid gland is the mostly affected site among major salivary gland tumors in up to 85% of cases. Preoperative knowledge of the tumour nature is crucial since it influences the surgical procedure and patient's morbidity, especially the risk of facial nerve palsy. Ultrasonography is commonly used as the first line imaging modality for the salivary gland lesions. A pitfall is that...

Frequency of p53 Gene Codon 72 Polymorphisms in Women with Breast Cancer in Iran

Backgrounds and Aims: P53 gene is regarded important in pathogenesis of different cancers. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the frequency of p53 gene codon 72 Arg/Pro polymorphism in women suffering from breast cancer. Materials and Methods: A total of 90 patients with breast cancer and 83 matched healthy control women participated in this case-control study. Genomic DNA was extrac...
