BiopsyBreast neoplasmsClipsMagnetic resonance imagingTo investigate the artifact sizes of four common breast clip-markers on a standard breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocol in anin vitrophantom model.#Using 1.5-T and 3-T whole-body scanners with an 18-channel breast coil, artifact ...
"Compared with clinical sequences, contrast-enhanced in-phase Dixon had higher sensitivity for detectingbreastbiopsy clips on MRI, as well as higher reader confidence and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), without change inpositive predictive value(PPV)," wrote corresponding and co-first author, Michae...
Patients should document previous and current breast problems on a breast history form. Before MRI scanning, the patient fills out an MRI safety form to exclude contraindications of entering the strong magnetic field, such as ferromagnetic vascular clips, metallic ocular fragments, pacemakers, and impl...
Clips are placed within the tumor bed to assist with radiation therapy planning. View Media Gallery Chronic mammographic findings after BCT are related to the volume of tissue excised and to radiation therapy. Architectural distortion, a spiculated or ill-defined mass, and a change in an ...
seen a dramatic drop during this time period and is now used for specific indications only. This chapter provides an overview of breast interventional procedures in four sections: ultrasound-guided breast biopsy, MRI-guided biopsy, presurgical needle wire localization, and stereotactic breast biopsy. ...
CT localization may be helpful in guiding breast surgery caused by microcalcifications and may also be used to localize titanium clips in breast tissues. This study was limited by the small size of the patient population. It is necessary to further confirm our findings with a larger number of ...
Axial (A) and sagittal (B) CT images show clips and calcifications associated with left breast linear scar (arrows). Autologous tissue flap Myocutaneous and muscle-sparing free flap autologous tissue transfers are popular options for breast reconstruction following mastectomy. Free flaps, specifically...
[Do tissue marker clips after sonographically or stereotactically guided breast biopsy improve follow-up of small breast lesions and localisation of breast... We wanted to determine if tissue marker clips after sonographically or stereotactically guided breast biopsy improve the follow-up of small ...
Evaluation of a Marker Clip System in Sonographically Guided Core Needle Biopsy for Breast Cancer Localization Before and After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy bold>IntroductionThe placement of intramammary marker clips has proven to be helpful for tumor localization in patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemo...

20 The clips, which are placed at the time of initial biopsy, obviate the need for pre-operative localization procedures. Several retrospective studies in the United States and Europe have demonstrated that ultrasound-visible clips can be safely used to guide surgical resection with comparable ...
