Transthoracic image guided biopsy.
Transthoracic image guided biopsy is now firmly established in the armamentarium of diagnostic tests to establish the nature of a mass in the lung, pleura, mediastinum or chest wall. It may be performed under computed tomographic, ultrasonic or fluoroscopic control, and provided a fine needle technique is employed, morbidity is low. Worldwide reports show a 90% true positive yield and a false p...
متن کاملPET-guided breast biopsy.
Molecular imaging, using positron emission tomography (PET), has become an integral step in the evaluation of many patients with malignancy. However, its use in patients with breast cancer has been limited by the lower levels of (18) F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in some breast malignancies compared to other cancers, the small size of many breast cancers, and the need for biopsy under PET g...
متن کاملRadiology Rounds - September 2006 - Percutaneous Image-Guided Breast Biopsy
Percutaneous image-guided breast biopsies are rapid, minimally invasive procedures that make surgery unnecessary for a large majority (70-80%) of patients whose lesions will prove to be benign. The imageguided biopsies are performed under local anesthetic with no need for conscious sedation using a small incision that requires no stitches to close. The procedures do not deform the breast and ca...
متن کاملBreast Microcalcifications: Diagnostic Outcomes According to Image-Guided Biopsy Method
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the diagnostic outcomes of ultrasonography-guided core needle biopsy (US-CNB), US-guided vacuum-assisted biopsy (US-VAB), and stereotactic-guided vacuum-assisted biopsy (S-VAB) for diagnosing suspicious breast microcalcification. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 336 cases of suspicious breast microcalcification in patients who subsequently underwent imag...
متن کاملScreening, imaging, and image-guided biopsy techniques for breast cancer.
Mammography remains the primary modality for breast cancer diagnosis. Other imaging studies, most commonly ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging, are also used to characterize breast lesions, stage breast cancer, and aid in surgical planning. Although mammography is the only screening examination demonstrated to decrease breast cancer mortality in the general population, other imaging ...
