Breast cancer detection using sonography in women with mammographically dense breasts
BACKGROUND Mammography, the gold standard for breast cancer screening misses some cancers, especially in women with dense breasts. Breast ultrasonography as a supplementary imaging tool for further evaluation of symptomatic women with mammographically dense breasts may improve the detection of mass lesions otherwise missed at mammography. The purpose of this study was to determine the increment...
متن کاملVolumetric Breast Ultrasound as a Screening Modality in Mammographically Dense Breasts
This investigation is part of an ongoing large scale study using volumetric breast ultrasound (VBUS) as a screening modality in mammographically dense breasts, offering a substantial benefit to MR imaging of the breast in terms of cost and efficiency. The addition of VBUS to mammography in women with greater than 50% breast density resulted in the detection of 12.3 per 1,000 breast cancers, com...
متن کاملDedicated dual-head gamma imaging for breast cancer screening in women with mammographically dense breasts.
PURPOSE To compare performance characteristics of dedicated dual-head gamma imaging and mammography in screening women with mammographically dense breasts. MATERIALS AND METHODS Asymptomatic women (n = 1007) who had heterogeneously or extremely dense breasts on prior mammograms and additional risk factors provided informed consent to enroll in an institutional review board-approved HIPAA-comp...
متن کاملBreast-specific gamma imaging for the detection of breast cancer in dense versus nondense breasts.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the sensitivity of breast-specific gamma imaging (BSGI) for the detection of breast cancer in dense versus nondense breasts. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a retrospective study of 341 women with biopsy-proven breast cancer diagnosed from January 2004 to August 2009 who underwent BSGI before surgical excision. Patients with predominantly fat...
متن کاملPrevalence of mammographically dense breasts in the United States.
BACKGROUND National legislation is under consideration that would require women with mammographically dense breasts to be informed of their breast density and encouraged to discuss supplemental breast cancer screening with their health care providers. The number of US women potentially affected by this legislation is unknown. METHODS We determined the mammographic breast density distribution ...
