However, it is not yet accepted as a routine examination for all breast c...

We report on two cases where breast magnetic resonance imaging examination changed clinical management. Breast magnetic resonance imaging is now recognised as an indispensable adjunctive examination to mammography and ultrasound. In each of the two cases described, breast magnetic resonance imaging revealed unsuspected, extensive, and mammographically and ultrasonologically occult, ductal carci...

conclusion the possibility of malignancy is strongly indicated when additional nme lesions show linear or segmental enhancement on preoperative 3t dce-mri in patients with recently diagnosed breast cancer. results on histopathologic analysis of the 88 nme lesions, 73 (83%) were malignant and 15 (17%) were benign. lesion size did not differ significantly between malignant and benign lesions (p =...

In this paper, we review the role played by breast magnetic resonance imaging in the detection and diagnosis of breast cancer. This is followed by a discussion of clinical decision support systems in medicine and their contributions in breast magnetic resonance imaging interpretation. We conclude by discussing the future of computer-aided diagnosis in breast magnetic resonance imaging.

desmoid tumor of breast is a rare benign, locally aggressive tumor with a high recurrence rate. it has been associated with scar from previous breast surgery or trauma. especially in breast cancer patients with previous operation history, it may simulate recurrent breast cancer clinically and radiologically. we presented multimodality imaging findings (ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic ...

Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays an essential role in molecular imaging by delivering the contrast agent into targeted cancer cells. The aim of this study was to evaluate the C595 monoclonal antibody-conjugated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs-C595) for the detection of breast cancer cell (MCF-7). Methods: The conjugation of monoclonal antibody and nanopartic...

Objective: Preoperative prediction of breast volume is important in the planning of breast reconstructive surgery. In this study, we prospectively estimated the accuracy of measurement of breast volume using data from 2 routine modalities, mammography and magnetic resonance imaging, by comparison with volumes of mastectomy specimens. Methods: The subjects were 22 patients (24 breasts) who were ...

lipomatosis of the nerve, also known as fibrolipomatous hamartoma, is characterized by the infiltration of the nerve by fibro-fatty tissue. the affected nerve becomes thicker, and it simulates a mass lesion. lipomatosis usually affects the median nerve and lipomatosis of the sciatic nerve is extremely rare. magnetic resonance imaging (mri) is the key to diagnosis, and it is usually pathognomoni...

conclusion these data indicate that while ce-mri will depict more positive results, there are cases in which dwi will show a positive result while ce-mri is negative. we suggest that the combination of these two imaging modalities might yield more positive results in diagnosing acute ms attack giving rise to a more accurate diagnosis. results ce-mri yielded positive results for 61 (87%) patient...
