Use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Detection of Breast Cancer Recurrence: A Systematic Review Background Diagnosis of breast cancer recurrence can be difficult as a result of the presence of scar tissue in the breast. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be superior to traditional imaging in ...
Introduction: Although MRI scanning is considered more sensitive than mammography in the detection of breast cancer, there are concerns that its relatively low specificity may lead to an unacceptable amount of false positive results. In our institution, MRI is used only in pre-operative investigation...
While it is known that CE breast MRI is the most sensitive detection method for invasive breast cancer, there is discussion regarding the usefulness of finding additional disease in newly diagnosed breast cancer patients. Is the extent of disease important and in which patients is CE breast MRI ...
MRI also can reveal the stage of breast cancer better than other methods, but it can enhance the contrast of benign lesions as well. Most importantly, MRI can detect both invasive and noninvasive breast cancer not found by conventional means. For example, it has been shown to perform better...
The supine images were loaded on the US machine and enabled confident detection of the lesion on US in nine out of 10 patients.Using MRI US fusion with one additional MRI series of supine images reduces the need for MRI-guided biopsy enabling US biopsy to be performed, which is cheaper, ...
PET/CT has emerged as a promising staging modality for both primary and recurrent prostate cancer. Newer tracers have increased detection accuracies for small, incipient metastatic foci. The clinical implications of these occult PET/CT detected disease foci require organized evaluation. Efforts should ...
[translate] aBreast cancer molecular phenotype and the use of HER2-targeted agents influence the accuracy of breast MRI after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. 乳腺癌分子表现型和对HER2被瞄准的代理的用途在neoadjuvant化疗以后影响乳房MRI的准确性。 [translate] ...
to treatment is unnecessary. MRI can be of benefit because it's more sensitive, but with the high number of false positives and costs associated with the test, more studies are needed to determine whether MRI can improve outcomes in women who have already been diagnosed with breast cancer." ...
care as compared with women who reported no MRI.Conclusions: Breast MRI use may be underused or overused in certain subgroups of women.Impact: As access to health care improves, the use of breast MRI and the appropriateness of its use for breast cancer detection will be important to monitor....
A PET/MRI study towards finding the optimal [18F]Fluciclovine PET protocol for detection and characterisation of primary prostate cancer. Purpose:[18F]Fluciclovine PET imaging shows promise for the assessment of prostate cancer. The purpose of this PET/MRI study is to optimise the PET imaging....
