..The purpose of the current study was to determine the frequency of imaging-histologic discordance at percutaneous breast biopsy and to assess the likelihood of carcinoma in these discordant lesions...

..MRI-guided biopsy was performed with a vacuum-assisted probe, followed by placement of a localizing clip, and then needle localization for surgical excision. Vacuum-assisted biopsy and surgical histology were correlated...

..The objective of this study was to evaluate our initial clinical experience with MRI-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsy as an alternative to surgical excision...

..This article reviews advantages, limitations, controversies, and future directions in percutaneous image-guided core breast biopsy...

..Although the lexicon is clinically useful and facilitates communication and research, there is still substantial interobserver variability in its application. Lexicons for breast sonography and breast MRI are in progress...

..This study reports the results of a breast carcinoma screening and diagnostic program in Harlem...

..The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of lesion size on the positive predictive value (PPV) of biopsy in MRI-detected breast lesions...

..The study objective was to determine the cancer frequency in lesions yielding a benign, concordant diagnosis of papilloma at percutaneous breast biopsy...

..If breast MR imaging is used in evaluating extent of disease, it is necessary to have the capability to perform biopsy of lesions detected by MR imaging only...

..The purpose of the current study was to determine the frequency of 'probably benign' interpretations at breast magnetic resonance (MR) imaging screening of high-risk women and the frequency of subsequent malignancy in these women...

..Advances in this field are having a great impact in the clinical management of this disease. Breast cancer has now become an "outpatient cancer". This article describes the role and advances of imaging in breast cancer...

..The yield was highest in women with a family history of breast cancer or infiltrating lobular histology in the index cancer. Change after biopsy was infrequent and did not interfere with the MR imaging interpretation...

..Final assessment categories were significant predictors of carcinoma...

..This study was undertaken to determine whether complete percutaneous excision rather than sampling of the mammographic target conveys any significant advantage or disadvantage at stereotactic 11-gauge vacuum-assisted biopsy...

..Reference standard was histology...

..The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of discordance at MRI-guided vacuum-assisted biopsy and to assess the cancer rate in discordant lesions...

..Although it is well established that nodal status for invasive disease is prognostically important, the clinical relevance of a positive SLN in patients with DCIS remains undetermined...

..The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence and positive predictive value of ductal enhancement among MR imaging-detected breast lesions that had biopsy and to assess the histologic findings associated with ductal enhancement...

..In the current study, recent experience with PM was described and the value of preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was analyzed in selecting patients for PM with or without SLNB...

..The purpose of our study was to determine the frequency of complete removal of the imaging target at MRI-guided vacuum-assisted biopsy of breast cancer and to assess the residual cancer rate at surgery in these lesions...

..Cancer was found in 20% of women who underwent contralateral breast biopsy and in 5% of women who underwent contralateral breast MR imaging...

..Our data suggest that sampling part but not all of a mass may miss certain histologic components of the mass, but should not result in a failure to diagnose carcinoma...

..In this study, MRI was significantly more sensitive than mammography in DCIS detection. In women with known or suspected DCIS, MRI may have an important role to play in assessing the extent of disease in the breast...

..The objective of our study was to determine the frequency of cancer at surgery in breast lesions yielding papilloma at MRI-guided 9-gauge vacuum-assisted biopsy (VAB) and to determine whether any features are associated with cancer upgrade...

....

..The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of cancer and the positive predictive value of biopsy in the first screening round of breast MRI in women at high risk of developing breast cancer...

..To determine the utility and histopathologic importance of ultrasonographic (US) depiction of breast lesions detected with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging...

..The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of breast MRI in this setting...

..The aim of this study was to determine the effect of background parenchymal enhancement on short-interval follow-up, biopsy, and cancer detection rate on baseline screening MRI in a high-risk group...

..The study objective was to assess the rate of underestimation of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) at MRI-guided 9-gauge vacuum-assisted breast biopsy...

..The positive predictive value of MR imaging-guided needle localization (30.7%) was comparable to that reported for mammographically guided needle localization and was highest in women with synchronous breast cancer...

..5% of women who had mastectomy. Among women who had breast conservation, one operation was significantly more likely if histologic underestimation was absent or if a mammographic mass was present...

..We describe our experience with MRI screening in a large population of women with a family history of breast cancer...

..The aim of this study was to determine the predictive value of ductography (DG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in this setting...

..The purpose of this study was to determine the MRI findings and histology of clinically and mammographically occult invasive breast cancers detected by MRI...

..To prospectively evaluate the diagnostic performance of magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy in patients with suspicious lesions or biopsy-proved cancers at MR imaging by using histologic findings as the reference standard...

..The objective of our study was to assess the experiences and preferences of radiology residents with respect to breast imaging...

..Here, the authors report findings from 72 consecutive lesions with LN at CNB and prospective surgical excision (EXB)...

..The purpose of this article is to determine the cancer detection and biopsy rate among women who have breast MRI screening solely on the basis of a personal history of breast cancer...

..To determine the rate of canceled magnetic resonance (MR) imaging-guided breast biopsies due to nonvisualization of the lesion and to assess associated features and outcome data for these cases...

..Inadequate mammography resources in some areas may impair access to this technology. We assessed the relationship between availability of mammography machines and the use of screening...

..3% +/- 10.4%. Preliminary results suggest that the proposed algorithm is a promising method for assisting in tumor volume measurement in contrast-enhanced breast MRI...

..A significant association exists between treatment with tamoxifen and decreases in BPE, cysts, and FGT on breast MRI...
