Pituitary incidentalomas are defined as asymptomatic lesions of the pituitary gland found on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scans of the head performed for various purposes [1]. They can be classified by size and hormone secretion status. Pituitary incidentalomas...
The ongoing development of multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) technology now allows radiologists to scan the entire thorax with high spatial resolution, which is not only necessary to detect subtle morphologic changes on lung images, but also very important for the proper analysis of thoracic...
In 2006, the average radiation dose from diagnostic medical imaging in the United States was estimated to be approximately 3 mSv per year, an increase of approximately 600% from the corresponding medical dose in the 1980s.1 The average US inhabitant also receives approximately 1 mSv per...
The scope of this review will cover the last 12–18 months of important literature concerning endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). The spectrum of articles has included standard applications for EUS, including cancer staging, diagnosis of early pancreatitis and evaluation of submucosal masses. The review...
(Dr. Jaron Rabinovici, the first author of the present study, is a very thoughtful, intelligent physician-scientist and a very productive former postdoctoral fellow of mine, has been evaluating magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound surgery (MRgFUS) for several years. The senior author, Dr. Elizabeth...
Power Doppler displays ultrasound scatterer amplitude, with particular sensitivity for low velocity in smaller blood vessels[1][2]. It developed from a tool for fine vascular depiction into one for quantification of blood flow or organ vascularity[3][4], as applied in multiple studies, including fetal,...
Purpose To retrospectively evaluate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of breast cancer after high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation.Materials and methods Six patients with invasive ductal carcinomas underwent HIFU ablation. In all patients, dynamic MRI was performed prior to and...
Despite the increasing use of positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in the management of patients with
breast cancer, its role is yet to be defined.Patients and methods We reviewed PET/CT scans carried out in breast cancer patients, the indication, concordance/discordance...
Screening with mammography has been shown to reduce mortality from breast cancer [1, 2]. However, the sensitivity to non-palpable cancer of screening mammography in radiographically dense-breasted women is as
low as 30-48% [3]. Extremely dense-breasted women have an 18-fold increase in...
A unicornuate uterus is a rare congenital malformation of the female genital tract, which appears in about 1/1000 women and is characterized by significant anatomic variability. In the most common type, a noncommunicating rudimentary horn coexists with the unicornuate uterus. The diagnosis of this anomaly...
