With regard to enhancement patterns, benign entities may demonstrate non-masslike regional or diffuse enhancement, homogeneous slow persistent enhancement, or no enhancement on MRI. However, that is not to say that benign tumors may not demonstrate rapid initial contrast enhancement. In fact, in our...
doi:10.1001/archsurg.138.7.801 Abstract Hypothesis The incidence of silicone breast implant rupture varies with implantation time and type of implant. Objective To measure the incidence of implant rupture by repeated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) among women with silicone breast implants. Design, ...
MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is a technology that uses magnets and radio waves to create detailed, 3D images of the breast tissue. Before the test you may be injected with a contrast solution (dye) through an intravenous line in the arm. The contrast solution will allow potential cancerou...
MRI-guided biopsy is performed on the MRI table, with a sequence of movements inside and outside the magnet. The patient is placed in prone position with the targeted breast gently compressed in a dedicated biopsy grid (Fig.4). A dedicated radiofrequency coil is required to enable image acqu...

1a–d). By contrast, TMED3 was hardly detectable or weak positive immunostaining of TMED3 predominates in paired normal controls (Fig. 1e, f). Taken as a whole, TMED3 was shown to be pronouncedly up-regulated in breast cancer tissues compared with its matched normal controls (Table 1)....
There was no incidence of bleeding or infection of the treated breast requiring interven- tion. Three patients received one MRI examination after HIFU treatment. Compared with preprocedural images, enhanced MRI revealed the absence of contrast enhancement in the treated region including tumour and 1.5...
contrast-enhanced MRI is recommended as an adjunct to mammography because MRI has the highest sensitivity compared to other breast screening modalities8. However, the lower specificity of MRI results in more recalls and biopsies8,9. Ultrasonography is another supplemental screening method to mammography...
The animal study revealed that there was no tumor regrowth, six weeks post-treatment, when the LHRH targeted drugs (LHRH-PTX and LHRH-PGS) were used for the treatment. The possible cytotoxic effects of the released drugs on the liver, kidney, and lung are assessed using quantitative ...
with saline and a third port may be attached for drainage of seroma fluid or air surrounding the lumpectomy cavity. The wall of the balloon is covered in radiolucent material that is visible on a plain x-ray film or CT scan: addition of radiographic contrast is not therefore required. The...
