Use of WHO checklist in interventional breast radiological procedures

Patient safety in interventional radiological procedures: safety checklists and protocols.

MR breast imaging guides interventional procedures

Rapid enhancement and early washout are generally observed in breast carcinomas, but there are exceptions to this pattern. Certain carcinomas, particularly lobular cancer and carcinoma in situ, may enhance slowly or not at all. On the other hand, some enhancement can be seen in benign lesions such as fibroadenomas. Because of its high sensitivity, MRI reveals small lesions that may not be visib...

The use of echocardiography in pediatric interventional cardiac catheterization procedures.

The last decade saw a dramatic change in the management of congenital heart defects. The introduction and development in echocardiography and Doppler modalities enable definitive diagnosis of congenital lesions without cardiac catheterization. At the same time, new therapeutic procedures for congenital defects using the catheter as a channel for different procedures were developed. These therap...

Magnetic resonance-guided interventional procedures of the breast: initial experience.

BACKGROUND Magnetic resonance imaging of the breast has emerged as a valuable imaging tool in addition to conventional imaging modalities. It has high sensitivity for malignant lesions and can detect mammographically, sonographically and clinically occult cancers. "MR only" lesions are best biopsied under MR guidance; however, this may be a challenging task. OBJECTIVES To evaluate our initial...

Use of Bispectral Index Score for Interventional Bronchoscopy Procedures

BACKGROUND Interventional bronchoscopic procedures are novel diagnostic and therapeutic methods in pulmonology, which may be unpleasant and dangerous to the patients; therefore, sedation and in some cases general anaesthesia are recommended. But adjusting the level of sedation is a challenge. In this study we intended to define a range of bispectral index (BIS) score suitable for these procedur...
