mri of the breast has evolved as a non-invasive imaging modality and is ideally suited for several indications e.g. pre-operative staging and screening in women at increased risk for breast cancer. the widespread use opens also the discussion on over-diagnosis if only 20 - 30 out of 100 mri - guided breast biopsies lead to the diagnosis of breast cancer. thus mri based strategies are needed to ...

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...

background: ultrasound propagation velocity was measured experimentally in normal, fibroadenoma and ductal carcinoma breast tissues, in order to distinguish normal breast tissue from tumors. materials and methods: in quantitative measurements of ultrasound velocity, 403 breast tissue images were selected, comprising 130 normal breast tissue, 130 fibroadenoma, and 143 ductal carcinoma tumors. th...

in ultra-wideband (uwb) multistatic microwave breast cancer imaging, the long imaging time is an important issue. in this paper, a novel imaging method for multistatic uwb radarbased microwave breast cancer imaging using sparse sampling has been proposed that significantly reduces the amount of data and imaging time. in this method, instead of measuring multistatic radar signals conventionally,...

results a low adc value was associated with lymph node metastasis (p < 0.01) and with high ki-67 protein levels (p = 0.03). there were no significant differences in the adc values among the histological grade (p = 0.48), molecular subtype (p = 0.51), tumor size (p = 0.46), and p53 protein level (p = 0.62). conclusion the pre-operative use of the 3.0 tesla dwi could provide information about the...

conclusions 18 f fdg pet/ct is a valuable imaging tool in initial and subsequent treatment strategy in patients with breast cancer by providing additional nodal and distant metastasis and may have the promising future potential to be as the imaging modality of choice for accurate assessment of disease extension in breast cancer in routine clinical practice. methods of a total 256 patients with ...

Introduction This study is an effort to diagnose breast cancer by processing the quantitative and qualitative information obtained from medical infrared imaging. The medical infrared imaging is free from any harmful radiation and it is one of the best advantages of the proposed method. By analyzing this information, the best diagnostic parameters among the available parameters are selected and ...

desmoid tumor of breast is a rare benign, locally aggressive tumor with a high recurrence rate. it has been associated with scar from previous breast surgery or trauma. especially in breast cancer patients with previous operation history, it may simulate recurrent breast cancer clinically and radiologically. we presented multimodality imaging findings (ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic ...
