Background/Objectives: This study pioneers the application of ViPLUS module, utilizing plane-wave ultrasound to measure breast tissue viscosity and elasticity. The primary goal was establish normal reference values for in healthy women. Secondary objectives included exploring correlations between density categories, hormonal influences, menstrual cycle phases. Methods: A prospective conducted on 245 asymptomatic Viscosity elasticity measurements were obtained using ensuring high reliability...

Background: Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality among women worldwide. Accurate staging, including the detection axillary metastases, vital for treatment planning. This study evaluates efficacy MRI relaxometry as diagnostic tool lymph node metastases in breast patients. Methods: A prospective was conducted on 67 consecutive Relaxometry parameters, T2Max, T2Min, and 1HAv, were assessed using 1.5 Tesla MRI. All histologically confirmed core-needle biopsy or surgical...

Differentiating between benign and malignant parotid gland tumors (PGT) is essential for establishing the treatment strategy, which greatly influenced by tumor's histology. The objective of this study was to evaluate role MRI-based radiomics in differentiation Warthin's (WT) (MT), two entities that proved present overlapping imaging features on conventional functional MRI sequences. In retrospective study, a total 106 PGT (66 WT, 40 MT) with confirmed histology were eligible radiomic...

Background: The objective of this study was to compare the value ultrasound (US), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and US-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) in preoperative evaluation parotid tumors. Methods: A three-year prospective study, including 35 patients, conducted. Preoperative ultrasound, MRI, FNAB were performed on each patient, after which an cytological diagnosis obtained. Each patient underwent surgical treatment. diagnoses compared with histopathological reports....

Background: The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness radiomic analysis contrast-enhanced spectral mammography (CESM) in discriminating between breast cancers and background parenchymal enhancement (BPE). Methods: This retrospective included 38 patients that underwent CESM examinations for clinical purposes January 2019–December 2020. A total 57 malignant lesions 23 with 31 regions BPE were assessed through using MaZda software. parameters demonstrated be independent...

Viscosity is a novel parameter, recently introduced in the use of elastographic techniques, correlating to shear-wave dispersion. The purpose this study was provide normal reference viscosity values for peripheral muscles healthy volunteers. This prospective included 38 subjects who underwent US examinations between November 2021 and January 2022. Measurements were taken on calf deltoid both pre- post-contraction states. age range 21-29 years, with median 26 years. SWE ViPLUS significantly...

ABSTRACT Angiomatosis or diffuse hemangioma is a very rare benign vascular tumor, consisting of blood and lymphatic channels growing diffusely in the breast parenchyma. We report case angiomatosis 34‐year‐old woman with pubertal anisomastia. Ultrasound raised suspicion by showing large cystic spaces separated septae moderate flow, similar to those found lymphangioma. discuss imaging (mammography, ultrasound, MRI) pathologic findings, brief review literature. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

BACKGROUND: Traditionally, emergency consultations have been done by a general practitioner (GP) in Switzerland. Over the last years, there seems to shift between practice hospital ward utilisation. There are several local initiatives of practitioners and hospitals change organisation care. To plan new form care, delivery should be based on population data. OBJECTIVE: The aim study was investigate epidemiology distribution primary care practitioners. In addition, factors clinical performance...
