Objectives. To study factors that predict changes in management with digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT). Methods. The Institutional Review Board approved this HIPAA compliant study. 996 patients had DBT with full field digital mammography (FFDM). Univariate analysis evaluated predictors of management change and cancer detection. Results. DBT changed management in 109 of 996 (11%); 77 (71%) requ...

Radiology: Ultrasonography to detect gallstones, choledocholithiasis and local complications. Contrastenhanced computed tomography (CECT) after 48-72 hours of pain onset to determine the degree and extent of necrosis. Percutaneous catheter drainage guided by ultrasound and CECT is helpful in the management of necrosis and also in bridging the time until surgery [8]. ERCP: To be carried out with...

A novel pretargeted SPECT imaging strategy based on the HaloTag enzyme has been evaluated for the first time in a living system. To determine the efficacy of this approach, two clinically relevant cancer biomarkers, HER2 and TAG-72, were selected to represent models of internalizing and noninternalizing antigens, respectively. In MDA-MB-231/H2N (HER2-expressing) and LS174T (TAG-72-expressing) x...
