BACKGROUND Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) show promise for molecular cancer imaging. We evaluated 3T MRI, FDG PET/CT, and ultrasound images for asymptomatic women with an abnormal screening mammogram. METHODS The Institutional Review Board of Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital (Kaohsiung, Taiwan) approved ...

OBJECTIVE The main function of the breast is to produce milk for offspring. As such, the ductal system, which carries milk from the milk-secreting glands (alveoli) to the nipple, is central to the natural function of the breast. The ductal system is also the region in which many malignancies originate and spread. In this study, we aimed to assess the feasibility of manual mapping of ductal syst...

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is an atypical soft tissue malignancy that affects the dermis and subcutaneous tissue. The cause of DFSP not clearly understood. This report highlights a rare case left breast. We 18-year-old female with past medical history type 1 diabetes mellitus, who presented to breast imaging clinic six-month lump associated skin discoloration. patient had dedicated ...

Ultrasound-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VABB) has been recently regarded as a feasible, effective, minimally invasive and safe method for removal of benign breast lesions without serious complications. The frequency of detection of noninvasive malignant breast lesions by ultrasound-guided VABB is increasing. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of the ultrasound-guided VABB u...

Early detection of breast cancer is critical in determining the best possible treatment approach. Ultrasound imaging has become an important modality in breast tumor detection and classification owing to its superiority to mammography in its ability to detect focal abnormalities in dense breast tissue. This paper discusses novel Fourier-based shape feature extraction techniques that provide enh...

Objective. The aim of this study was to analyse individual and combined sensitivity and specificity of ultrasound and mammography in breast cancer diagnosis and emphasize the importance of combining breast imaging modalities. Patients and methods. By means of a cross-sectional study, ultrasound and mammographic examinations of 148 women (mean age 51.6 ± 10.8 years) with breast symptoms were ana...

Bloody nipple discharge is the main and in most cases only symptom of intraductal breast cancer. Detection this pathology a rather complex process involving prescription extra research methods. Ultrasound mainly used addition to such leading diagnostic methods as mammography, ductography. However, above case report, ultrasound presented an independent method.

Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of death from cancer among women. Both its earlier detection and better treatment have been shown to significantly save lives and reduce high costs. Thus, breast imaging systems must recognize and locate very small lesions. This work is concerned with the finite element time domain (FETD) simulation of ultrasound wave propagation for a recent ultrasoun...

Purpose. The aim of this study was to determine the value of 3D and 3D Power Doppler sonography in the detection of tumor malignancy in breast lesions and to find new diagnostic criteria for differential diagnosis. Methods. One hundred and twenty five women with clinically or mammographically suspicious findings were referred for 3D Power Doppler ultrasound prior to surgery. Histological diagno...

Purpose: To study the role of strain ultrasound elastography in diagnosis of solid breast lesions, and evaluate its capability in differentiating benign from malignant lesions, in comparison to histopathological diagnosis taken as the reference standard. Patients and Methods: A total of eligible 28 female patients with solid breast masses, were subjected in our prospective study; sampled in a s...
