متن کاملConventional Galactography and MR Contrast Galactography for Diagnosing Nipple Discharge: Preliminary Results
OBJECTIVE We wanted to compare the clinical usefulness of conventional galactography and MR contrast galactography for diagnosing patients with nipple discharge. MATERIALS AND METHODS Both conventional galactography and MR contrast galactography were performed prospectively in 16 patients.

Of 175 women ref...
