To compare contrast-enhanced spectral mammography (CESM) with (Mx), ultrasound (US), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) regarding breast cancer detection rate preoperative local staging.This prospective observational, single-centre study included 128 female patients (mean age 55.8 ± 11.5 years) a newly diagnosed malignant tumour during routine US Mx were prospectively enrolled. CESM MRI examinations performed within the study. Analysis interreader agreement, type grade distribution, rates...
Background: In early-stage breast cancer with initially positive axillary lymph nodes, reliable assessment of the involvement axilla is important because prognostic importance lymph-node metastases. After neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) targeted dissection (TAD) including sentinel biopsy and primarily involved currently regarded as standard care. The target node must be marked using a clip/marker later localized guidance technique to identify avoid indication dissection. Methods: present...
Abstract Ultrasound is a highly effective imaging tool for assessing abnormalities within the breast. However, especially identification of malignant tumors breast mimicking fibroadenomas (MTMF) by means ultrasound can be challenging. This study aimed to identify reliable characteristics MTMF. retrospective was approved local ethics review board. After screening 623 patients, 421 cases with histologically verified and MTMF between 2011 2021 were included. Sonographic features compared...
To sonographically investigate whether mountain bikers have a higher prevalence of scrotal abnormalities compared with that in nonbikers.Eighty-five male (mean age, 25 years; age range, 17-45 years) and 31 healthy nonbikers 24 15-37 were examined for findings at ultrasonography (US). Only subjects history extensive off-road biking (> or =2 h/d 6 d/wk; covered distance, >5,000 km/y) assigned to the group bikers, whereas control did not engage bicycling. In addition clinical evaluation, US...
The most common long-term complication of silicone breast implants (SMI) remains capsular fibrosis. etiology this exaggerated implant encapsulation is multifactorial but primarily induced by the host response towards foreign material silicone. Identified risk factors include specific topographies. Of note, implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) has only been observed in to textured surface implants. We hypothesize that reduction SMI roughness causes less and, hence,...
A better understanding of the peritumoral stroma changes due to tumour invasion using non-invasive diagnostic methods may improve differentiation between benign and malignant breast lesions. This study aimed assess correlation lesion intra- shear-wave elastography (SWE) gradients.
To evaluate the diagnostic utility of maximum ultrasound strain elastography (SE) halo depth in newly diagnosed and histologically confirmed breast lesions, a retrospective study approval was granted by local Ethical Review Board. Overall, peritumoural halos (SEPHmax)-the distance between SE stiffening area B-mode lesion size-in 428 cases with lesions were retrospectively analysed alongside patient age, affected quadrant, tumour echogenicity, size, acoustic shadowing, vascularity....
Abstract Background To investigate the artifact sizes of four common breast clip-markers on a standard magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocol in an vitro phantom model. Methods Using 1.5-T and 3-T whole-body scanners with 18-channel coil, dimensions biopsy markers agarose-gel were measured by two readers images obtained following sequences: T2-weighted fast spin-echo short inversion time fat-suppressed inversion-recovery magnitude reconstruction (T2-TIRM); T1-weighted spoiled...
Background: Compared to conventional 2D mammography, digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) offers greater lesion detection rates. Ring-like hypodense artifacts surrounding dense lesions are a common byproduct of DBT. This study’s purpose was assess whether minuscule changes spanning this halo—termed the “broken halo sign”—could improve classification. Methods: retrospective study approved by local ethics review board. After screening 288 consecutive patients, DBT studies 191 female participants...

Patients undergoing breast MRI frequently have metallic biopsy clips placed within or adjacent to the lesion, producing artifacts, which could lead misinterpretation. The aim of our study was investigate extent artifact four different commonly used in hospital on diffusion-weighted images obtained with a readout-segmented sequence (RESOLVE) and their influence ADC maps. It is found that artifacts vary shape size between clips, DWI ADC-maps. For marker smallest minimum detectable lesion seems...
