Breast cancer is a serious potential health problem for all women and is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States. The current screening procedures and imaging techniques, including x-ray mammography, clinical biopsy, ultrasound imaging, and magnetic resonance imaging, provide only 73% accuracy in detecting breast cancer. This gives the impetus to explore alternate techniq...

The role of dynamic contrast material–enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the breast as an adjunct to the conventional techniques of mammography and ultrasonography has been established in numerous research studies. MR imaging improves the detection and characterization of primary and recurrent breast cancers and allows evaluation of the response to therapy. The breast imaging lexicon p...

INTRODUCTION: Breast cancer is the most hazardous disease among women worldwide. A simple, cost-effective, and efficient screening called mammographic imaging used to find breast abnormalities detect in early stages so that patient’s health can be improved. OBJE

breast cancer is characterized by a distinct metastatic pattern involving the regional lymph nodes, bone marrow, lung and liver. tumour cell migration and metastasis share many similarities with leukocyte trafficking, which is critically regulated by chemokines and their receptors. detection of breast cancer and its metastasis at the earliest stage is important for the management and prediction...

We report on two cases where breast magnetic resonance imaging examination changed clinical management. Breast magnetic resonance imaging is now recognised as an indispensable adjunctive examination to mammography and ultrasound. In each of the two cases described, breast magnetic resonance imaging revealed unsuspected, extensive, and mammographically and ultrasonologically occult, ductal carci...

Optical breast imaging offers the possibility of noninvasive, low cost, and high sensitivity imaging of breast cancers. Poor spatial resolution and a lack of anatomical landmarks in optical images of the breast make interpretation difficult and motivate registration and fusion of these data with subsequent optical images and other breast imaging modalities. Methods used for registration and fus...

PURPOSE The Society of Breast Imaging and the Education Committee of the ACR Breast Commission conducted a survey of breast imaging fellowship programs to determine the status of fellowship curricula, help identify strengths and potential areas for improvement, and assess the current demand for fellowship programs. METHODS In 2012, a two-part survey was emailed to breast imaging fellowship di...
