The evaluation of the disease extent in patient with Ductal Carcinoma In Situ: Comparison of Mammography, Sonography, and MRI
PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to determine relative accuracy of mammography (MMG), ultrasonography (US), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) as compared with pathology finding. METHOD AND MATERIALS Institutional review board approval was obtained with waiver of informed consent. Between January 2001 and December 2008, 91 women with 97 les...
متن کاملIdentifying Breast Calcification by Using Susceptibility Weighted Imaging: Optimizing Parameters for Detection of Calcifications at 3T
Introduction: A significant weakness of current clinical breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is that detection and characterization of calcification has not been possible. While almost all invasive breast cancers will show enhancement with dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) MRI, a substantial number of cases of pre-invasive cancer (ductal carcinoma in situ, DCIS) may not enhance with this tech...
متن کاملImproving the performance of neural network in differentiation of breast tumors using wavelet transformation on dynamic MRI
ABSTRACT Background: A computer aided diagnosis system was established using the wavelet transform and neural network to differentiate malignant from benign in a group of patients with histo-pathologically proved breast lesions based on the data derived independently from time-intensity profile. Materials and Methods: The performance of the artificial neural network (ANN) was evaluated u...

Background and purpose: Dual-energy mammography technique is used for improving the accuracy of breast cancer diagnosis especially in dense breast cases and also detection of micro-calcifications which are early signs of breast cancer. The purpose of this study was to investigate the automatic separation feasibility of micro-calcification images in breast tissue images and evaluating its accura...
متن کاملShaping of the Unaffected Breast with Brava-Assisted Autologous Fat Grafting to Obtain Symmetry after Breast Reconstruction.
BACKGROUND In breast reconstruction, symmetry is a vital issue. However, when the original breast is unusually shaped or the patient desires augmentation at the time of reconstruction, obtaining symmetrical breasts becomes difficult. OBJECTIVES The authors performed shaping of unaffected breasts by Brava-assisted autologous fat grafting to enhance breast symmetry, and evaluated the clinical r...
