History-based breast MR generates high yields
Screening women with breast MRI based solely on a personal history of breast cancer found malignancies in 12% of the women studied, with a positive predictive value biopsy rate of 39%.
Screening women with breast MRI based solely on a personal history of breast cancer found malignancies in 12% of the women studied, with a positive predictive value biopsy rate of 39%.
A retrospective review of 1699 breast MRI exams performed from 1999 to 2001 yielded 144 women with prior breast cancer who started regular breast MRI screening. Of the 144 women, 31% underwent biopsies prompted by MRI (AJR 2010;195:510-516).
Sixty-one biopsies found 17 carcinomas and one myxoid liposarcoma. The 10 detected by MRI were more likely than the other seven to be ductal carcinoma in situ or node-negative invasive breast cancer <1 cm in size.
Study Reaffirms Low Risk for csPCa with Biopsy Omission After Negative Prostate MRI
December 19th 2024In a new study involving nearly 600 biopsy-naïve men, researchers found that only 4 percent of those with negative prostate MRI had clinically significant prostate cancer after three years of active monitoring.
Study Examines Impact of Deep Learning on Fast MRI Protocols for Knee Pain
December 17th 2024Ten-minute and five-minute knee MRI exams with compressed sequences facilitated by deep learning offered nearly equivalent sensitivity and specificity as an 18-minute conventional MRI knee exam, according to research presented recently at the RSNA conference.
Can Radiomics Bolster Low-Dose CT Prognostic Assessment for High-Risk Lung Adenocarcinoma?
December 16th 2024A CT-based radiomic model offered over 10 percent higher specificity and positive predictive value for high-risk lung adenocarcinoma in comparison to a radiographic model, according to external validation testing in a recent study.
