Breast-specific gamma imaging for the detection of mammographically occult breast cancer in women at increased risk

Breast cancer imaging: a new role of Tc-99m sestamibi prone scintimammography for diagnosisof breast cancer

Mammography remians the procedure of choice in screening asymptomatic women for breast cancer. However, in patients with symptoms, other types of imaging play an important role in the detection of malignancies. The high cost and lack of availability of PET and MRI largely precludes the use in this patient population. TI-201 is nbt the imaging agent of choice because of its wash-out and redistri...

Diffusion-Weighted MRI: Influence of b-value and lesion characteristics on conspicuity of mammographically-occult invasive breast cancer in women with dense breasts

Women with increased breast density are at elevated risk for breast cancer, independent of other risk factors. While dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI is the gold standard for identification of cancer in dense breasts, high costs and safety concerns associated with gadolinium contrast preclude its use for routine screening. As such, there is a critical need for a safe, effective, low cost scr...

مروری بر نئوپلاسم پستان در زنان

Introduction: Breast cancer is an uncontrollable growth of abnormal cells in different areas of the chest. Research about the causes of breast cancer is crucial. Finding cancers risk factor can lead to identification of women at risk, prevention strategies, and screening for early detection of disease. In this paper, we tried to survey the risk factors that lead to the creation of this common c...

Detection of occult foci of breast cancer using breast-specific gamma imaging in women with one mammographic or clinically suspicious breast lesion.

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine how often breast-specific gamma imaging (BSGI) identifies occult cancerous lesions in women with one suspicious lesion detected on mammography or physical exam. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective review was performed of the records of all patients who underwent BSGI between January 1, 2004, and June 4, 2007. Included in the st...
