Atherosclerosis imaging with <sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET is useful for tracking inflammation within plaque and monitoring the response to drug therapy. Short-term reproducibility of this technique in peripheral artery disease has not been assessed, optimal method quantification still debated. We imaged 20 patients vascular using twice, 14 d apart, used these data assess measures compare 2 methods uptake measurement. also reviewed literature on determine arterial future studies. <b>Methods:</b>...
Background— Fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography (FDG PET) imaging of atherosclerosis has been used to quantify plaque inflammation and measure the effect plaque-stabilizing drugs. We explored how atherosclerotic varies across arterial territories it relates calcification. also tested hypotheses that degree local measured by PET is correlated with extent systemic presence risk factors for vascular disease. Methods Results— Forty-one subjects underwent PET/computed FDG. All had...
Abstract There is a subset of women who experience particularly rapid bone loss during and after the menopause. However, factors that lead to this enhanced remain obscure. We show patterns ovariectomy vary among inbred strains mice, providing evidence there may be genetic regulation induced by estrogen deficiency. Introduction: Both low BMD increased rate are risk for fracture. Bone menopause influenced multiple hormonal factors. specific determinants poorly understood, although it has been...
ObjectiveTo perform the first known investigation of differences between real-time and offline B-mode short-lag spatial coherence (SLSC) images when evaluating fluid or solid content in 60 hypoechoic breast masses.MethodsReal-time retrospective (i.e., offline) reader studies were conducted with three board-certified radiologists, followed by objective, reader-independent discrimination using generalized contrast-to-noise ratio (gCNR).ResultsThe 12 fluid, mixed containing components) masses...
The purpose of this study is to describe the imaging features pregnancy-associated breast cancer (PABC) on MRI and consider impact preoperative patient management.A retrospective review medical records from January 1994 May 2014 identified 183 women who presented with a new diagnosis during pregnancy or within 1 year postpartum. MR images were available for 53 these patients, all whom included in study. Clinical history reviewed. clinical was also recorded.Of women, nine (17%) 44 (83%) first...
Ultrasound is frequently used in conjunction with mammography order to detect breast cancer as early possible. However, due largely the heterogeneity of tissue, ultrasound images are plagued clutter that obstructs important diagnostic features. Short-lag spatial coherence (SLSC) imaging has proven be effective at reduction noisy images. M-Weighted SLSC and Robust-SLSC (R-SLSC) were recently introduced further improve image quality higher lag values, while R-SLSC added benefit enabling...
<h2>Abstract</h2> Ultrasound is often used as a supplement for mammography to detect breast cancer. However, one known limitation the high false-positive rates associated with ultrasound. We investigated use of coherence-based beamforming (which directly displays spatial coherence) standard ultrasound B-mode images in 25 patients recommended biopsy (26 masses total), eventual goal decreasing rates. Because coherent signal present within solid masses, methods allow and fluid-filled appear...
PurposeIn the setting of abnormal results on screening mammography, Mammography Quality Standards Act mandates that patients receive a mailed "recall" lay letter informing them to return for additional follow-up imaging. The language used in this should be "easily understood by person." In February 2019, authors' institution revised its recall sixth grade reading level. purpose study was analyze effect improved readability patient rates.MethodsIn retrospective study, data from all mammograms...

When compared to fundamental B-mode imaging, coherence-based beamforming and harmonic imaging are independently known reduce acoustic clutter, distinguish solid from fluid content in indeterminate breast masses, thereby unnecessary biopsies during cancer diagnosis. However, a systematic investigation of independent combined coherence approaches is necessary for clinical deployment the most optimal approach. Therefore, we compare performance images created with short-lag spatial (SLSC),...
