Purpose: To retrospectively evaluate whether microcalcification descriptors and the categorization of in Breast Imaging Reporting Data System (BI-RADS) 4th edition help stratify risk malignancy, by using biopsy clinical follow-up as reference standards. Materials Methods: The institutional review board approved this HIPAA-compliant study waived informed consent. included 115 women (age range, 26–82 years; mean age, 55.8 years ± 10.5 [standard deviation]) who consecutively underwent...
Physiologic changes that occur in the breast during pregnancy and lactation create challenges for cancer screening diagnosis. Despite these challenges, imaging evaluation should not be deferred, because delayed diagnosis of pregnancy-associated contributes to poor outcomes. Both diagnostic can safely performed using protocols based on age, risk, whether patient is pregnant or lactating. US preferred initial modality clinical symptoms women, followed by mammography if findings are suspicious...
BI-RADS for mammography and ultrasound subdivides category 4 assessments by likelihood of malignancy into categories 4A (> 2% to ≤ 10%), 4B 10% 50%), 4C 50% < 95%). Category is not subdivided breast MRI because a paucity data. The purpose the present study determine utility 4A, 4B, calculating their positive predictive values (PPVs) comparing them with BI-RADS-specified rates ultrasound.All screening examinations performed from July 1, 2010, through June 30, 2013, were included in this...
Purpose To determine whether the mammographic density of noncalcified solid breast masses is associated with malignancy and to measure agreement between prospective retrospective assessment. Materials Methods The institutional review board approved this study waived informed consent. Three hundred forty-eight consecutive in 328 women who underwent image-guided or surgical biopsy October 2005 December 2007 were included. All 348 biopsy-proved randomized assigned a radiologist was blinded...
To determine the utility of 6-month follow-up imaging after benign concordant image-guided percutaneous breast biopsy results.The institutional review board approved this retrospective, HIPAA-compliant study; informed consent was waived. Findings from consecutive stereotactic and ultrasonographically guided core biopsies performed 2001 to 2005 were analyzed included lesions with pathologic findings without atypia found be at a consensus conference. Rebiopsy recommendation rates positive...
We explored the use of a fiber-optic probe for in vivo fluorescence spectroscopy breast tissues during percutaneous image-guided biopsy. A total 121 biopsy samples with accompanying histological diagnosis were obtained clinically and investigated this study. The tissue spectra analyzed using partial least-squares analysis represented set principal components (PCs) dramatically reduced data dimension. For nonmalignant samples, PCs that account largest amount variance displayed correlation...
The ability to correlate anatomical knowledge and medical imaging is crucial radiology as such, should be a critical component of education. However, we are hindered in our teach this skill because know very little about what expert practice looks like, even less novices' understanding. Using unique simulation tool, research conducted cognitive clinical interviews with experts novices explore differences how they engage correlation the underlying processes involved doing so. This supported...
The Enhancing Quality Using the Inspection Program (EQUIP) augments FDA/MQSA program to ensure image quality review and implementation of corrective processes. In our screening mammography program, we compared technical recalls between digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) 2D full-field (FFDM). This HIPAA-compliant study was exempt from IRB review. consecutive mammograms (October 2013 through December 2017), prospectively recorded were for imaging modality (FFDM, DBT+FFDM, DBT+synthesized...
Enhancing quality using the inspection program (EQUIP) augments FDA/MQSA ensuring image review and implementation of corrective processes. We compared technical recalls between digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) full-field mammography (FFDM). Prospectively recorded consecutive screening mammograms (10/2013 - 12/2017) were for imaging modality [FFDM, DBT + FFDM, synthesized (SynM)], images requested, indication(s) (motion, positioning, technical/artifact). Chi-squared tests evaluated...
A visual-language model (VLM) pre-trained on natural images and text pairs poses a significant barrier when applied to medical contexts due domain shift. Yet, adapting or fine-tuning these VLMs for use presents considerable hurdles, including misalignment, limited access extensive datasets, high-class imbalances. Hence, there is pressing need strategies effectively adapt the domain, as such adaptations would prove immensely valuable in healthcare applications. In this study, we propose...
Cryoablation has been used to treat both benign and malignant breast tumors. In all but one published case, cryoablation in cancer followed by post-procedural tumor resection. We present a case of an 85-year-old woman with two nonpalpable cancers treated 18 months mammographic, ultrasound histologic follow-up.
