چکیده
From 03/2009 to 09/2009, 50 patients underwent digital Full Field Mammography (detector: resolution 70lm) (Fa. Siemens) and, after diagnosis and preoperative wire localization, digital Full Field Mammography (detector: resolution 50lm) (Fa. FujiFilm) with the same exposure parameters. Five investigators retrospectively determined the diagnosis after the operation from randomly distributed mediolateral views (monitor reading). These results were correlated with the final histology. Results The accuracy of the digital Full Field Mammography (detector 70lm) and the digital Full Field Mammography (detector 50lm) for microcalcifications (n = 50) was 73.2% resp. 77.8%. The difference in the results was not significant (p\.001). Conclusion Our findings indicate an equivalence of the both digital Full Field Mammography systems with the trend towards a superiority of the new constructed detector (Fa. FujiFilm).

Effect of Physiological noise on Thoraco-Lumbar spinal cord fMRI in 3T Magnetic field
Introduction: Functional MRI methods have been used to study sensorimotor processing in the brain and the Spinal cord. However, these techniques confront unwanted contributions to the measured signal from physiological fluctuations. For the spinal cord imaging, most of the challenges are consequences of cardiac and respiratory movement artifacts that are considered as signifi...
متن کاملAccelerated echo-planar J-resolved spectroscopic imaging in the human brain using compressed sensing: a pilot validation in obstructive sleep apnea.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Echo-planar J-resolved spectroscopic imaging is a fast spectroscopic technique to record the biochemical information in multiple regions of the brain, but for clinical applications, time is still a constraint. Investigations of neural injury in obstructive sleep apnea have revealed structural changes in the brain, but determining the neurochemical changes requires more de...
متن کاملCongenital Heart Disease: Role of Time-Resolved MR Angiography
Background and Objective: Cardiac MRI and contrast-enhanced MR angiography (CE-MRA) are gaining interest as non-invasive diagnostic measures for both primary diagnosis and follow up of patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) (1). Due to the presence of complex anatomy and extensive collateral pathways between pulmonary and systemic circulation in patients with CHD, a highly temporally reso...
متن کاملFunctional MR imaging on an open 1T MR imaging system: exploiting the advantages of an open MR imaging system for functional MR imaging.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Open MR imaging scanners are designed for imaging of specific patient groups that cannot be routinely scanned with conventional MR imaging scanners (eg, patients with obesity and claustrophobia). This study aims to determine whether BOLD sensitivity on an open 1T scanner is adequate for fMRI for diagnostic and research purposes by directly comparing fMRI results with a st...
متن کاملIn vivo MR-angiography for the assessment of aortic aneurysms in an experimental mouse model on a clinical MRI scanner: Comparison with high-frequency ultrasound and histology
BACKGROUND MR-angiography currently represents one of the clinical reference-standards for the assessment of aortic-dimensions. For experimental research in mice, dedicated preclinical high-field MRI scanners are used in most studies. This type of MRI scanner is not available in most institutions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of MR-angiography performed on a clinical MR s...
