AIM: This study aimed to determine findings of axillary view mammogram (MMG) and ultrasound (USG) of the ipsilateral side in post-mastectomy patients and to document difficulty level in performing the axillary view and patients' pain level during the procedure. METHODS: Post-mastectomy patients who...
This work aimed to establish the long-term (2鈥 3 years) efficacy, safety, and satisfaction of the procedure, as well as the impact of cryoablation on mammogram and ultrasound images. Thirty-seven treated fibroadenomas were available for assessment with an average follow-up period of 2.6 years...
Is there a role for magnetic resonance imaging in diagnosing palpable breast masses when mammogram and ultrasound are negative? BACKGROUND: The use of breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for screening high-risk patients is well established. However, the role of MRI as a diagnost... ML Olsen...
One week later, a second mammogram was performed. The second radiologist noted very dense tissue but no evidence of malignancy. No follow-up was recommended. One year later, the patient presented to her gynecologist with a complaint of a breast lump. The gynecologist ordered bilateral mammograms ...
Women irradiated to the chest area at a young age (<35) would benefit from annual mammogram screening given the increased breast cancer risk. Magnetic resonance imaging can be considered, although there is a lack of data supporting its role in this population. Low-dose chest CT for lung ...

Nearly all had a second mammogram, called a diagnostic mammogram, after the screening scan. From there, many went on to have additional scans and even biopsies to remove a bit of tissue for examination to determine if they had cancer. Those who went on to have a biopsy paid the ...

Screening mammograms for certain women have been free from out-of-pocket costs since the Affordable Care Act's provision took effect. But between 2010 and 2017, the study shows, women who got additional imaging and biopsies after their screening mammogram faced ever-rising out-of-pocket costs. ...
