Breast ultrasound is a valuable adjunctive to mammography for the identification and characterization of palpable and nonpalpable abnormalities. With the advances of ultrasound techniques over the past 10 years, the role of ultrasound has evolved from differentiation of benign from malignant masses, evaluation of mammmographic abnormalities, and gu...

Although mammography has been the gold standard for early detection of breast cancer, if a woman has dense breast tissue, a false negative diagnosis may occur. Breast ultrasound, whether hand-held or automated, is a useful adjunct to mammography but adds extra time and cost. The primary aim was to demonstrate that our second-generation Aceso system...
This study aimed to evaluate contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) and to compare breast lesions on CEM and breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using 5 features. We propose a flowchart for BI-RADS classification of breast lesions on CEM based on the Kaiser score (KS) flowchart for breast MRI. Sixty-eight subjects (women and men; median age 61.4 ±...
Background
Despite increasingly effective curative breast-conserving treatment (BCT) regimens for primary breast cancer, patients remain at risk for an ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence (IBTR). With increasing interest for repeat BCT in selected patients with IBTR, a reliable assessment of the size of IBTR is important for surgical planning.AimTh...
The impact of calcification in patients with breast carcinoma treated with breast-conserving surgery (BCS) is unclear. The present study aimed to determine the outcome of breast cancer patients with calcification treated with BCS. The records of 409 patients with breast carcinoma treated with BCS from January 2005 to December 2008 were reviewed. Pa...
