We report a case of retained surgical sponge in the breast with its sonographic and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings. Striped and spotted low signal intensity structures seen within the lesion on T2 weighted MR imaging was characteristic. Sonographic examination also was helpful with the appearance of strong posterior acoustic shadowing at the lesion. It is extremely rare, to see a goss...

Policy [TOP] Magnetic resonance ‒ guided high-intensity ultrasound ablation may be considered medically necessary for pain palliation in adult patients with metastatic bone cancer who failed or are not candidates for radiotherapy. Magnetic resonance-guided high-intensity ultrasound ablation is considered investigational in all other situations including but not limited to:  Treatment of uterin...

background: to reduce the dose to normal tissues surrounding the treated breast, a uniform magnetic field was used within a humanoid phantom in breast radiotherapy. materials and methods: monte carlo simulations were performed with geant4, irradiating humanoid phantoms in a magnetic field. to reconstruct phantoms, computed tomography (ct) data slices of four patients were used for the monte car...

We explored the utility of time-resolved angiography with interleaved stochastic trajectories dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (TWIST DCE-MRI), readout segmentation of long variable echo-trains diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging- diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (RESOLVE-DWI), and echo-planar imaging- diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (EPI...

Primary breast lymphoma (PBL) is a clinicopathological entity characterized by the appearance of a unilateral breast mass of months of evolution, infrequently accompanied by signs of skin edema, retraction, erythema and nipple involvement. This rare situation is especially observed during pregnancy or postpartum, suggesting that tumor growth is influenced by hormonal stimulation, although its a...

Background Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays an essential role in molecular imaging by delivering the contrast agent into targeted cancer cells. The aim of this study was to evaluate the C595 monoclonal antibody-conjugated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs-C595) for the detection of breast cancer cell (MCF-7). Methods The conjugation of monoclonal antibody and nanopartic...
