background : the axillary lymph node stage is one of the single most important determinants in the prognosis of breast cancer patients. the disadvantages of the two previous methods used for evaluating axillary node metastasis, i.e., axillary lymph node dissection and sentinel lymph node biopsy, have directed researchers to investigate new techniques for this purpose. the aim of the current stu...

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system for breast ultrasound to improve the characterization of breast lesions detected on ultrasound by junior and senior radiologists. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred sixty ultrasound breast lesions were randomly reviewed blindly by four radiologists with different levels of ...

D Satellite Symposia ECR/ESR takes no responsibility for the content of the Satellite Symposia, and the opinions expressed therein do not necessarily reflect those of ECR/ESR Automated 3D breast ultrasound is a new technique, which scans the breast automatically and almost entirely. Data sets can be stored and are available for 3D cross correlating review. This new technique eliminates signific...

background: logistic discriminant method was applied to differentiate malignant from benign in a group of patients with proved breast lesions on the basis of ultrasonic parameters. materials and methods: our database include 273 patients' ultrasonographic pictures consisting of 14 quantitative variables. the measured variables were ultrasound propagation velocity, acoustic impedence and at...

OBJECTIVE To assess the results of an initial round of supplemental screening with hand-held bilateral breast ultrasound following a negative screening mammogram in asymptomatic women with dense breast tissue who are not at high risk for breast cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act compliant, Institutional Research Board approved st...

despite extensive research into new ways of imaging the breast x-ray mammography and breast ultrasound, supplemented where necessary by magnetic resonance imaging, remain the techniques used for the vast majority of breast imaging for screening and the assessment of symptomatic breast problems. Recent advances in these technologies mean that these three techniques are highly effective for both ...

OBJECTIVE Ultrasound-guided needle localization has been used prior to the surgical excision of nonpalpable breast lesions. The aim of the study was to assess the feasibility of the use of a saline immersion specimen ultrasound technique (immersion-US) to confirm the successful removal of breast lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS The devised immersion-US technique was used to examine the excised ...

Background: Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed in women. early detection a programthat combines diagnosis for symptomatic patients with opportunistic breast clinical examination screening. Thisstudy was conducted to demonstrate drawback of screening.Methodology: A group 200 were consulted at women’s health center AL-Elweiya maternityteaching hospital Baghdad between January 2021 and J...

Background: The aim of this study is to evaluate the usefulness and quality YouTube videos on ultrasound-guided breast biopsy (UGBB) for patients. Materials Methods: A video search was undertaken Aug 14, 2020 using keywords, ‘breast biopsy’, ‘ultrasound-guided core ultrasound’, ultrasound’. Top 100 were selected each keyword (total 400 videos). After applying exclusion criteria, 51 evaluated by...

Breast cancer is the most common killer in women worldwide, which is originating from breast tissue. Early detection of breast cancer plays an important role in its therapy. Existing breast cancer detection method like ultrasound imaging can not be used at all ages, also quality of obtained images affected by speckle noise. Thus, it is essential to introduce new method to overcome these problem...
