Is breast MRI helpful in the evaluation of inconclusive mammographic findings?

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of MRI of the breast in cases in which mammographic or sonographic findings are inconclusive. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed images from 115 MRI examinations of ... Read more...

Clinical imaging characteristics of the positron emission mammography camera: PEM Flex Solo II.

14 Sep 2009 We evaluated a commercial positron emission mammography (PEM) camera, the PEM Flex Solo II. This system comprises two 6 x 16.4 cm detectors that scan together covering up to a 24 x 16.4 cm field of view (FOV). There are no specific standards for ... Read more...

Screening and prevention of breast cancer in primary care.

30 Aug 2009 Mammography remains the mainstay of breast cancer screening. There is little controversy that mammography reduces the risk of dying from breast cancer by about 23% among women between the ages of 50 and 69 years, although the harms associated with ... Read more...
