By capitalizing on the extravasation of indocyanine green (ICG) through the wall of tumorous vessels and consequently using late-fluorescence mammograms, we were able to achieve far more pronounced contrast between the tumorous and healthy background tissue (mean contrast value, 0.64) compared with this contrast on images acquired during or shortly after the administration of ICG (mean contrast value, 0.25)

Gadobenate dimeglumine (0.1 mmol/kg) results in significantly (P [≤ ] . 0003) greater breast cancer detection rate and significantly (P [≤ ] . 0094) better diagnostic performance relative to that achieved with gadopentetate dimeglumine at an equivalent dose

While cancer detection did not differ in women screened with screen-film mammography (SFM) or digital mammography (DM), the recall rate and false-positive risk were lower with DM than with SFM after adjustment was made for the woman's screening mammogram, radiology unit screening round, age at screening, and time trends

Link to Journal

Six-month follow-up imaging for benign image-guided core biopsy results assessed as concordant with consensus review did not aid detection of breast cancers or influence recommended rebiopsy rates, suggesting that yearly follow-up may be more appropriate

Among premenopausal women who had undergone mammography in the previous 2 years, mammography was more sensitive in the detection of breast cancer in those who underwent mammography during the 1st week of their menstrual cycle than in those who underwent mammography during the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th week of their menstrual cycle

Imaging-pathologic correlation, as well as patient age of 50 years or older, lesion size of 1 cm or greater, distance from nipple to lesion of 3 cm or greater, and Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System category may be helpful in predicting the likelihood of malignancy and in the management of benign papilloma without atypia after US-guided 14-gauge core-needle biopsy, while minimizing any delay in the diagnosis of cancer

Overall, 61 (16%) of 388 participants had an appropriate change in surgical management based on MR findings--more than the 41 (11%) participants with an appropriate change based on positron emission mammography (PEM) findings (P =. 003) and fewer than the 71 (18%) participants with an appropriate change based on combined PEM and MR findings (P =. 004 for comparison with MR imaging alone) ; 25 (6.4%) women had excessive excisions on the basis of MR findings compared with 19 (4.9%) women who had them on the basis of PEM findings (P =. 26) and 32 (8.2%) women who had them after undergoing combined PEM and MR imaging (P =. 023 for comparison with MR imaging alone)
