Kentwood, MI-based firm Inrad will feature its UltraWire One-Handed Breast Localization Device at the RSNA show.

The device helps clinicians precisely mark breast lesions using ultrasound guidance. Its design includes a preloaded wire so that the user can place it without having to put down the ultrasound transducer. The needle retracts into the handle after use to reduce needle sticks. The device is available in 5-, 7-, and 9-cm lengths, and will be available in January 2006, according to Inrad.

Also in its booth, Inrad will showcase product line upgrades. The company has added two new lengths to its UltraClip family of tissue markers: the 12-cm length is for clip placement with ultrasound, and the 15-cm length is for clip placements under MRI guidance. Finally, the Ghiatas Beaded Breast Localization Wire for placement with MRI comes with a 20-guage needle with lengths of 5, 7, 9, and 14 cm.

Maximum-intensity projection F-18 FDG-PET (left) and Ga-68 FAPI-PET (right) images of synchronous ILC. (A) A 42-year-old patient with multicentric primary lesions (encircled), regional (solid arrows), and distant inferior jugular lymph node (dashed arrows) seen on F-18 FDG-PET and subsequently confirmed on Ga-68 FAPI-PET, which also revealed additional malignant foci aligned with MRI. Some lesions exhibited high activity retention on Ga-68 FAPI-PET. (B) A 53-year-old patient showing no significant uptake on F-18 FDG-PET but synchronous bilateral lesions (arrows) on Ga-68 FAPI-PET, which also identified pathologic lymph nodes (encircled), resulting in upstaging.

Imaging surveillance suggested for radial scars found on DBT
By Amerigo Allegretto
Imaging surveillance may be the way to go for tracking radial scars without atypia found on screening DBT.
March 14, 2024
Images taken from a 40-year-old woman with calcifications detected on baseline screening mammography show (A) lateral and (B) craniocaudal magnification views for grouped pleomorphic calcifications in right breast (circles). Stereotac-tic-guided core-needle biopsy yielded radial scar without atypia. Subsequent surgical resection yielded radial scar (i.e., not upstaged). Image courtesy of ARRS.
