VIENNA — MRI of the breast can detect more biologically relevant ductal carcinomas in situ (DCIS) than mammography and could be used to stratify risk for a more targeted therapeutic approach, new findings suggest. MRI should be used to arrive at treatment decisions that are better tailored to ...
“The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) recommends that people at higher risk have an MRI and a mammogram each year,” she said. “At LMH Health, we alternate every six months once established, but offer an MRI to be scheduled after the first appointment.” Sumner followed Hawasli...

Ultrashort echo time (UTE)-MRI is used to image tissues with very short T2 relaxation times, such as lungs, to enhance tissue signals [109]. This is valuable tool for detecting small inflammatory and fibrotic lesions in the lungs, which are often missed by conventional proton MRI due to si...
aBreast cancer detection can be achieved by a variety of methods. Screening for breast cancer can be detected at earlier stages with mammography (mammograms). Other methods of breast cancer detection include ultrasound with mammography, MRI, breast cancer biopsy, and fine needle aspiration of the su...
RTs learn multiple modalities, including CT, MRI, fluoroscopy, and mammography; however, in urgent care, they only utilize basic x-ray.3Radiographers must also maintain a high degree of accuracy in radiographic positioning and exposure technique, and maintain knowledge of radiation protection and safe...
More than 4,500 MRI datasets of extremely dense breasts were included. Of the 9,162 breasts, 838 had at least one lesion, of which 77 were malignant, and 8,324 had no lesions. The deep learning model considered 90.7% of the MRIs with lesions to be non-normal and triaged them to ...
In his letter [1] commenting on our Short Report titled "Diagnostic Versus Screening Mammography Recommendations for Postlumpectomy Imaging Surveillance of Patients With Breast Cancer" [2], Kopans' primary criticism is that we did not cite a 1997 article he coauthored on a similar topic [3]. ...
For EBC patients entering the follow up period, there is strong evidence supporting routine breast radiological examination (mammography, breast US and MRI in selected cases) in order to detect early local relapses or contralateral tumors[37]. Conversely, no solid data from randomized trials area ...
Another friend, a retired MRI technologist, told me about a puzzling dream that was more difficult to interpret. Her dream was about giving birth, but as a post-menopausal woman, she knew that was impossible. She wondered whether it might be just a metaphor for a...
