Background: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship of tumor size and ultrasound (US) Breast Imaging Reporting Data System (BI-RADS), further analyze if can impact evaluation for US features in patients with breast cancer. Materials Methods: In this retrospective study, preoperative postoperative pathological results were collected from 498 The association BI-RADS classification was analy...

According to the most recent WHO classification (2002 edition), soft tissue malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) is considered to be an undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma. MFH is the most common somatic sarcoma involving deep soft tissues (1). The most frequent primary sites of MFH are the lower limbs (49%), upper limbs (19%), and abdominal cavity or retroperitoneum (16%) of adults (2). MFH o...

OBJECTIVE The objective is to review the different types of breast reconstruction following cancer surgery and describe expected imaging appearances and complications seen in the reconstructed breast. METHODS Surgical management of breast cancer often entails lumpectomy or mastectomy. When mastectomy is performed, patients often opt for breast reconstruction. Most facilities do not routinely ...

conclusion investigative assessment of breast us by residents is inadvisable. we recommend continued professional resident training to improve the degree of agreement and performance. results for the faculty members, fair-to-good agreement was obtained in all descriptors and final assessment, while for residents, poor-to-moderate agreement was obtained. the areas under the roc curves were 0.78 ...

Breast cancer screening is essential in lowering breast-cancer related mortality and the prevalence of invasive and advanced breast cancer in high risk women. High risk women should receive a screening that is based on at least three imaging modalities, i.e. mammography, magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasonography, for the primary prevention of breast cancer. The use of these three modalitie...

An imaging-guided core needle biopsy has been proven to be reliable and accurate for the diagnosis of both benign and malignant diseases of the breast, and has replaced surgical biopsy. However, the possibility of a false-negative biopsy still remains. Imaging-pathology correlation is of critical importance in imaging-guided breast biopsies to detect such a possible sampling error and avoid a d...

Imaging for breast cancer comprises multiple options in terms of modalities and protocols that have to be applied in the clinical context by radiologists, referring GPs and medical imaging technicians across a broad patient population. We will discuss the roles of modalities such as mammography (standard 2D and 3D/ DBT), breast ultrasound as well as the suite of interventional options including...
