Preoperative prediction of breast volume is very important in planning breast reconstruction. In this study, we assessed the usefulness of a novel method for preoperative estimation of mastectomy volume by comparing the weight of actual mastectomy specimens with the values predicted by the developed ...
When Dr Kimberly Myers, professor of English literature and medical humanities, received a diagnosis of stage I invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast, she asked photographer Wendy Palmer to record the appearance of her body prior to a double mastectomy. Surprised by the beauty of the images ...
This mammogram shows two views of a breast following a mastectomy and reconstruction with a silicone breast implant. (Mammograms can be performed on breast implantsif less compression is used than what is required with natural breast tissue.) This woman had been successfully treated for a type of...
Image texture, the relative spatial arrangement of intensity values in an image, encodes valuable information about the scene. As it stands, much of this potential information remains untapped. Understanding how to decipher textural details would afford
Currently, breast-conserving treatment and mastectomy are recommended depending on the extent of DCIS, but there is high variability and disagreement regarding the choice of treatment4,5. In addition, surgery may not always be necessary for DCIS patients: a recent study found no difference in ...
Group 2 is a result of endogenous hormone imbalance and present with aggressive and unremitting breast growth. They often require multiple reduction and consideration should be given to a primary mastectomy with breast reconstruction. Group 3 is drug induc...
Pathological evaluation of tumor response After completing NAC, breast surgery was performed for all patients. About one third of patients went through a breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy) while others underwent a mastectomy. Standard histopathology on the surgical specimens to assess the pathological...
The technique was successfully demonstrated with cone beam CTimages of mastectomy breast specimens. This technique lends itself to more accurate and consistent measurement of breast density which may be used an indicator for breast cancer risk. This work was supported in part by grants CA104759 and...
The patient was then candidated to mastectomy surgery and breast reconstruction with DIEP flap. Axillary lymp-nodes were sampled surgically.doi:10.1016/j.radcr.2024.12.032Chiara Adriana PistoleseDepartment of Diagnostic Imaging and Interventional Radiology, Molecular Imaging and Radiotherapy, University of...
CONCLUSIONS: The present study is the first to model the relationship between the vertical dimensions of the mastectomy incision and subsequent volume loss. These geometric principles will aid in optimizing intra-operative volume expansion during expander-based breast reconstruction....
