Differentiation of benign and malignant breast lesions by apparent diffusion coefficient value in mass and non-mass lesions
Background: Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is one of methods in evaluation of breast lesions. We aimed to investigate the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values in breast tumors and their accuracy in differentiating benign versus malignant lesions. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 72 patients with 88 breast lesions were investigated by 1.5-T breast MRI from 2015 to 2017 in Athari...
متن کاملEstimate of tissue composition in malignant and benign breast lesions by time-domain optical mammography.
The optical characterization of malignant and benign breast lesions is presented. Time-resolved transmittance measurements were performed in the 630-1060 nm range by means of a 7-wavelength optical mammograph, providing both imaging and spectroscopy information. A total of 62 lesions were analyzed, including 33 malignant and 29 benign lesions. The characterization of breast lesions was performe...
متن کاملHistopathology of benign non-palpable breast lesions identified by mammography.
Over four years the histological features of benign breast diseases, diagnosed after biopsy of non-palpable mammographic abnormalities, were reviewed and correlated with the mammographic appearances. The histological features were compared with those from all other benign biopsy specimens taken during the same period. The incidence of sclerosing adenosis and microcalcifications was considerably...
متن کاملBenign and malignant breast lesions: diagnosis with multiparametric MR imaging.
PURPOSE To both develop and use a tissue signature method for the identification and classification of breast lesions and healthy breast tissue with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-six patients underwent breast MR imaging (T1- and T2-weighted imaging and three-dimensional T1-weighted imaging with and without contrast material enhancement), followed by biopsy or m...
متن کاملSerum CA15-3 in Benign and Malignant Breast Lesions
CA15-3 is a high-molecular-mass mucin-like glycoprotein expres¬sed at the luminal surface of most secretary epithelia and associated with mammary tumors (Taylor et al., 2002). Increased levels were observed in patients with breast cancer (Kobayashi et al., 1989). Clinical uses of this marker include monitoring of patients with breast cancer (Duffy, 1999; Duffy et al., 2006), prognosis (McLaughl...
