MRI provides a highly sensitive technique for early detection of abnormal breast tissue. It is useful for identifying a status of proliferation, angiogenesis, and microvascular permeability, which may indicate early breast neoplasm formation. We retrospectively studied 2005 breast MRI images from Taiwanese women and classified them as either healthy or unhealthy according to BI-RADS categories....

•The diagnostic performance of abbreviated MRI matches standard breast MRI. •Few studies investigated screening populations alone. mean examination time is significantly reduced. protocols reported are very varied. AIM To undertake a meta-analysis the (ABB) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and full protocol (FDP-MRI) in cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was performed using Preferred Reporting ...

The objective of this study was to assess whether preoperative breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) combined with conventional breast imaging techniques decreases the rates of margin involvement and reexcision.Data on patients who underwent surgery for primary operable breast cancer were obtained from the Changhua Christian Hospital (CCH) breast cancer database. The rate of surgical margin i...

AIM To evaluate the incidence of Poly Implant Prosthése (PIP) rupture as assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the prevalence of the detected signs and the potential correlation with breast carcinoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS 67 patients with silicone breast implants and clinical indications for breast MRI were evaluated for a total of 125 implants: 40 (32%) PIP in 21 patients and 85 non-...

Randomized controlled trials have shown equivalent survival for women with early stage breast cancer who are treated with breast-conservation therapy (local excision and radiotherapy) or mastectomy. Decades of experience have demonstrated that breast-conservation therapy provides excellent local control based on defined standards of care. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been introduced in ...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the breast is used for various indications. Contrary to computed tomography as a staging tool, breast MRI focuses on the breast parenchyma and axilla. In spite of narrow field of view, many structures such as the anterior portion of the lungs, mediastinum, bony structures and the liver are included which should not be neglected because the abnormalities detec...

Abstract Background Breast MRI is the imaging modality of choice in patients with palpable breast lesions unequivocal on mammography and ultrasonography. This study aims to evaluate role dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE-MRI) apparent diffusion coefficient mapping characterization differentiation various lesions. prospective observational was conducted a tertiary care hospital between July 2019 Ju...

An ideal vision of modern medicine includes tumor surgery with the human body remaining completely intact. A noninvasive therapy could avoid infections and scar formation; it would require less anesthesia, reduce recovery time, and possibly also reduce costs. This study investigated whether human breast cancer can be effectively treated with a novel combination of image guidance and energy deli...

Introduction The use of MRI for the evaluation of breast lesions is increasing. With a sensitivity of between 88% and 92% it is a more sensitive method than conventional mammography or ultrasound for the detection of breast cancer. The reported specificity at 1.5T is 72%, with a 95% confidence interval of pooled-weighted specificity estimates of 67-77% in a recent meta-analysis. A second drawba...

We prospectively examined the variability of non-Gaussian diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) measurements with different numbers of b-values and excitations in normal breast tissue and breast lesions. Thirteen volunteers and fourteen patients with breast lesions (seven malignant, eight benign; one patient had bilateral lesions) were recruited in t...
