PURPOSE evaluate the diagnostic performance of contrast-enhanced spectral digital mammography versus dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging in the detection and staging of breast cancer. METHOD AND MATERIALS In this institutional ethics approved prospective study, we compared the performance of ...
Three genetic conditions—hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome, Lynch syndrome, and familial hypercholesterolemia—have tier 1 evidence for interventions that reduce morbidity and mortality, prompting proposals to screen unselected populations f
Interval breast cancers — insights into a complex phenotype Interval invasive breast cancers diagnosed after a normal mammogram but before the next screening examination have a different tumour biology from that of screen-detected breast cancers, and thus are not detected on mammography. Understanding ...
A slight breast compression was needed to suppress the fibrocollagenous septa similar to the conventional ultrasound exam to provide an imaging window of the ROI61. However, similar to other elasticity imaging techniques, pre-compression must be avoided62. We minimized the pre-compression of the tis...
Pre-treatment tumour size was defined as the largest tumour dimension documented by mammogram, breast ultrasound, or magnetic resonance imaging. Pre-treatment lymph-node status was defined as any abnormal lymph nodes on computed tomography or ultrasound imaging, or on clinical exam, or by the ...

We analysed the outcomes of referrals to breast clinic over 1 year. Methods A retrospective analysis of 1,673 patients attending the breast clinic over a 12-month period. Patients were subcategorised into those presenting with breast pain alone, and in whom mammo-grams were performed. The ...
if the argument to FAMHX equals breast cancer is A=strong family history in near relatives, and the patient is female, a mammogram is indicated every six months. This is a particular example of a “rule” found in the “Rule Book of Medicine”. Simply stated, the “rule” is that fema...
The work, in short, highlights the desirability of incorporating this test in a systematic way into the population programs for the early detection ofbreast cancer, an advance towards which significant steps are already being taken. "Many radiologists are already being trained in this technique. And...
