Don't forget CT for imaging breast implants, Germans say

When it comes to imaging breast implants for rupture, MRI and ultrasound are recognized widely as the modalities of choice, but a new study in European Radiology by German researchers could change all that because it suggests CT may be a viable alternative.

Bilateral breast ultrasound of limited use in recalled patients

Bilateral breast ultrasound offers little or only marginal benefit in routine breast cancer screening for recalled patients, German researchers have found. In their study published in European Radiology, ultrasound detected unexpected breast cancer in dense breasts, but ultrasound-only cancer detection had a low positive predictive value.

Swiss give new advice on MRI technique for female pelvis

The less-motion-sensitive T2-weighted BLADE technique should not replace conventional turbo spin echo when imaging a woman's pelvis because, despite its appeal, overall contrast suffers, according to Swiss researchers.

Experience really does matter when imaging the placenta

MRI can be a reliable and reproducible tool in providing clinical information on placental invasion -- placenta accreta, increta, or percreta -- but its diagnostic value still depends crucially on observers' experience, Swiss researchers have found.

Benign breast surgery can have profound impact on mammography

Benign breast surgery decreases breast cancer screening sensitivity, probably due to postoperative mammographic changes, Dutch researchers have found. This could have implications for future screening guidelines, they said.
