Comparison of digital mammography and screen-film mammography in breast cancer screening: a review in the Irish breast screening program.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: Clinical trials to date into the use of full-field digital mammography (FFDM) for breast cancer screening have shown variable results. The aim of this study was to review the use of FFDM in a population-based breast cancer screening ... Read more...

Radioguided localization of nonpalpable breast cancer lesions: randomized comparison with wire localization in patients undergoing conservative surgery and sentinel node biopsy.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: The aim of this investigation was to determine whether radioguided occult lesion localization and routine wire localization differ in respect to the effectiveness of complete excision of nonpalpable breast cancer lesions. SUBJECTS AND ... Read more...

Prospective and retrospective ECG gating for thoracic CT angiography: a comparative study.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: The objective of our study was to compare radiation dose, contrast load, thoracic aortic attenuation value, and image quality parameters of MDCT thoracic aortography performed with prospective and retrospective cardiac gating. MATERIALS ... Read more...
