Can second-look ultrasound downgrade MRI-detected lesions? A retrospective study

The role of second-look ultrasound of BIRADS-3 mammary lesions detected by breast MR imaging.

OBJECTIVE To asses the value of second-look ultrasound (US) for identifying BIRADS 3 (Breast Imaging Reporting Data System) mammary lesions detected by breast Magnetic Resonance imaging (MRI). MATERIALS AND METHODS From April 2008 to May 2009 330 breast MRI were performed of which 60 patients are classified as BIRADS 3. 84 lesions underwent second-look US and percutaneous vacuum biopsy Vacora...

Second-look ultrasonography for MRI-detected suspicious breast lesions in patients with breast cancer

PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of second-look ultrasonography (US) for investigating additional suspicious lesions detected on preoperative staging magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for breast cancer. METHODS Between September 2008 and August 2010, 1,970 breast MRIs were performed at our medical institution for the evaluation of breast cancer before surgery. Second-lo...

MRI assessment of spared fibers following callosotomy: a second look.

involvement of early spasm since recovery after CSD/CSD-like depolarizations is energy dependent. The occurrence of DIND despite proper fluid management and nimodipine prophylaxis in our patients is interesting because migraine with aura is a known risk factor for ischemic stroke in young women.6 A particular link has been proposed between migrainous stroke-related mechanisms and DIND.7 In conc...

Thyroid lesions incidentally detected by 18F-FDG PET-CT — a two centre retrospective study

BACKGROUND Incidental (18)F-FDG uptake in the thyroid on PET-CT examinations represents a diagnostic challenge. The maximal standardized uptake value (SUVmax) is one possible parameter that can help in distinguishing between benign and malignant thyroid PET lesions. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively evaluated (18)F-FDG PET-CT examinations of 5,911 patients performed at two different med...
