Ultrasound-guided biopsy of breast calcifications using a new image processing technique: initial experience

Initial Experience with a Wireless Ultrasound-Guided Vacuum-Assisted Breast Biopsy Device.

OBJECTIVE To determine the imaging characteristic of frequent target lesions of wireless ultrasound (US)-guided, vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (Wi-UVAB) and to evaluate diagnostic yield, accuracy and complication of the device in indeterminate breast lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS From March 2013 to October 2014, 114 women (age range, 29-76 years; mean age, 50.0 years) underwent Wi-UVAB using...

Ultrasound guided biopsy: what's new?

Ultrasound guided intervention has become the preferred method to diagnose primary neoplasms and suspected metastatic disease. With developments in technology and changes in practice patterns, the types of referrals for ultrasound guided intervention will evolve. The purpose of this review is to highlight a variety of new or relatively new aspects of image guided biopsy and to focus on areas of...

MRI and ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy using soft image fusion.

OBJECTIVES Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided random biopsies is the gold standard when diagnosing prostate cancer. A new 3D system with organ tracking, allows accurate targeted biopsies using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and TRUS soft image fusion. The aim of the study was to evaluate the accuracy of targeted biopsies. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective study of 90 consecutive patient...

Digital breast tomosynthesis-guided biopsy: preliminary experience

Detection of Coastline Using Satellite Image-Processing Technique

Extended abstract 1- Introduction  Coasts maintain their natural sustainability without human intervention and in spite of short-term changes, we are ultimately confronted with a coastal healthy environment, i.e. natural, rocky beaches, sandy beaches and so on. Today's use of remote sensing in most natural sciences is widespread. Due to the fact that fieldwork is costly and time-consuming, ...
