The planning target volume (PTV) is a geometrical concept that allows for uncertainty in planning or treatment delivery. It takes into account the internal motion of the tumour during treatment (internal target volume (ITV)), in addition to random and systematic variations that occur in patient s...
and it was not what I expected. Instead of a round mass, which is what I always thought breast cancer would look like, I saw a streak of white, like a bolt of lightning, traveling through the lower part of my breast and up towards my nipple. ...
Objective: In recent decades, frame-based (FBB) and frame-less stereotactic brain biopsy (FLB) have played a crucial role in defining the diagnosis and management of expanding intracranial lesions in critical areas. During the same period, there have been significant advances in diagnostic imaging,...
To determine the minimum number of stereotactic 9-gauge vacuum-assisted biopsy specimens required to establish a final histopathological biopsy diagnosis of mammographically suspicious breast lesions. This prospective single-center observational cohort study included 120 women referred for stereotactic vacuum-...
A tilted needle biopsy assembly is provided for mounting on an x-ray system. Because the biopsy needle is angled relative to at least one of the detector and the x-ray source, x-ray imaging may be performed during the biopsy procedure without interference by the biopsy device. The angled ...
Conventional upright stereotactic biopsy results in the biopsy device approaching the breast often in front of the woman's face. The lateral arm enables access to the breast from the side without visualisation by the woman. Its accuracy as a needle guide has not, however, previously been ...
Purpose: To determine the minimum number of stereotactic 9-gauge vacuum-assisted biopsy specimens required to establish a final histopathological biopsy diagnosis of mammographically suspicious breast lesions.den Dekker, Bianca M.van Diest, Paul J.de Waard, Stephanie N.Verkooijen, Helena M.Pijnappel,...
PURPOSE: To prospectively determine whether there is a minimum number of cores required for histopathologic diagnosis of mammographically detected nonpalpable breast lesions with an add-on 14-gauge stereotactic core-needle biopsy device. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study was approved by the ethics ...
When there is discrepancy between the imaging and histopathology results, a repeat biopsy rather than early follow-up would have avoided a delay in some cases. A normal ultrasound examination should not deter the radiologist from proceeding to stereotactic biopsy, if the index mammographic lesion is...
