Because of its high negative predictive value in excluding breast cancer, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging plays a role in the evaluation of selected clinical and imaging findings of the breast,…
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is now widely used in the management of locally advanced breast cancer (LABC). Early initiation of systemic therapy can improve overall and disease-free survival for patients with LABC…
The technical requirements for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the breasts are challenging because high temporal and high spatial resolution are necessary. This article describes the necessary equipment and pulse…
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. One in 8 women develops breast cancer and approximately 30% of all affected women die of the disease. By performing a…
Preoperative breast imaging evaluation can contribute useful clinical information to the management of the patient with known breast cancer. Breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been used as part of…
Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) now accounts for well over 20% of cancers diagnosed in mammography screening programs. This article reviews the biology of DCIS and the unique kinetic and…
The role of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in breast imaging and evaluation has increased rapidly. MR imaging now encompasses diagnostic evaluation as well as screening for breast cancer in high-risk…
Breast magnetic resonance (MR) is highly sensitive in the detection of invasive breast malignancies. As technology improves, as interpretations and reporting by radiologists become standardized through the development of guidelines…
The Breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging Lexicon was designed to standardize interpretation and reporting of breast magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings, ultimately improving communication between radiologists and clinicians and facilitating patient…
Primary tumors of the liver can be classified pathologically based on their cell of origin into epithelial tumors, arising from hepatocytes or biliary epithelium, and nonepithelial tumors, including mesenchymal tumors…
