Osteosarcoma most commonly metastasizes to the lung or the skeleton, and metastatic osteosarcoma to the breast is very rare, with only a few cases reported. Due to its rarity, little has been reported about its imaging features. In this report, we represent a 58-year-old woman with metastatic osteosarcoma to the right breast from a tibial osteosarcoma. The imaging features of the metastatic ost...

background: breast conservation therapy (bct) is the standard of care for early stage breast cancer. the procedure can be a challenge for the surgeon if the lesion is non-palpable. for excision of non-palpable breast lesions, they should be localized precisely before surgery. there are different techniques such as the wgl (wire guided localization), roll (radio-guided occult lesion localization...

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women and the earlier it is diagnosed, the easier it is to treat. The most common way to diagnose breast cancer is mammography. Mammography is a simple chest x-ray and a tool for early detection of non-palpable breast cancers and tumors. However, due to some limitations of this method such as low sensitivity especially in dense breasts, other method...

In this paper, we review the role played by breast magnetic resonance imaging in the detection and diagnosis of breast cancer. This is followed by a discussion of clinical decision support systems in medicine and their contributions in breast magnetic resonance imaging interpretation. We conclude by discussing the future of computer-aided diagnosis in breast magnetic resonance imaging.

BACKGROUND After treatment for breast cancer, most women receive an annual surveillance mammography to look for subsequent breast cancers. Supplemental breast MRI is sometimes used in addition to mammography despite the lack of clinical evidence for it. Breast imaging after cancer treatment is an emotionally charged experience, an important part of survivorship care, and a topic about which lim...

Purpose: Breast cancer imaging methods lack diagnostic accuracy, in particular for patients with dense breast tissue, and improved techniques are critically needed. The purpose of this study was to evaluate antibody-indocyanine green (ICG) conjugates, which undergo dynamic absorption spectrum shifts after cellular endocytosis and degradation, and spectroscopic photoacoustic (sPA) imaging to dif...

OBJECTIVE Molecular breast imaging techniques, such as breast-specific gamma imaging, are increasingly being used as adjunctive diagnostic technologies to mammography and ultrasound. This multicenter clinical patient registry was designed to quantify the impact of this modality on the management of the breast patient population in clinical practice and to identify the subgroups of patients bene...

However, it is not yet accepted as a routine examination for all breast c...

conclusion gm presents with a wide range of conventional radiological findings, hampering the diagnosis. in patients with inconclusive conventional findings, mri may assist in the differential diagnosis and assessment of the extent of disease. however, a definitive diagnosis and relevant treatment require histopathological confirmation. objectives the aim of this study was to review the radiolo...

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to report magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of cystic lymphangiomas of the breast. METHODS: MRI of the breast was performed using a phased-array double breast coil with a 1.5-T MR scanner. Routine T1 and T2 and post-contrast sequential imaging was performed. RESULTS: The MRI characteristics of cystic lymphangioma in the breast are described. CONC...
