Unfortunately, this essential component is often missed during surgery. Clinicians in Japan tested ultrasound and MRI to see if they could detect intraductal invasive breast cancer and improve surgical accuracy.April 30, 2006Digital X-RayTargeted angiography precludes unintentional embolization during TACEUsing a "superselective" angiography procedure, Korean interventionalists were able to reduce hepatic injuries during transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and metastatic liver disease.April 27, 2006MRIBrain stem lesion on MRI bodes ill for comatose head trauma patientsSAN FRANCISCO - Damage to the brain stem after a traumatic head injury is likely to be fatal, according to an MRI study presented this week at the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) meeting.April 26, 2006Radiation Oncology/TherapyPredictive index improves criteria for postmastectomy radiation selectionTaiwanese and U.S. radiation oncologists have developed what they call a "more sophisticated prediction model" for local regional recurrence (LRR) after mastectomy. The goal of this new system is to offer a better definition of high risk for LRR, and help determine if certain breast cancer patients would benefit more from postmastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT).April 25, 2006HomeAuntMinnie.com X-Ray Radiology InsiderApril 23, 2006Clinical NewsX-ray offers insight into complex behavior of fluidsX-ray is the workhorse modality of medical imaging. But in the field of microfluidics, this old-school technology is on the cutting edge. French researchers have developed new Kapton microdevices that can stand up to the heat from x-ray beams in microfluidics experiments.April 23, 2006MRISmoking stalls neurocognitive recovery in former alcoholicsAlcoholics who pair their chosen poison with cigarettes have a harder time regaining lost neurobiological function, according to a new MR spectroscopy (MRS) study. In addition, even after an individual has given up drinking, continuing to smoke could hamper his or her rehabilitation effort.April 20, 2006Womens ImagingBreast cancer Internet forum self-corrects, provides accurate infoHow accurate is Web-based information on breast cancer, especially when it's found in an unmoderated public forum? Researchers in Texas ran a check on one online forum to gauge the accuracy of information being disseminated.April 17, 2006Previous PagePage 25 of 100Next PageTop StoriesInterventionalGAE reduces pain biomarkers in knee osteoarthritisGenicular artery embolization (GAE) significantly reduces key biomarkers that drive pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis.Residents/FellowsRace, ethnicity influence educational debt among radiology-bound MDsMRIMRI, CT findings correlate for assessing epicardial fat volumePractice ManagementImaging experts hope NSA enforcement bill delivers on accountabilityCTPET/CT identifies bone demineralization in breast cancer patients
![Images depict axial MRI scans in a 50-year-old premenopausal female patient with biopsy-proven 12-mm invasive lobular cancer in the lower outer quadrant of the left breast. Upper images are subtracted dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI scans from the first and second postcontrast acquisitions. Lower images are ultrafast MRI scans obtained within 24 hours after the DCE study (four consecutive subtracted dynamic frames from time points [T] 6–9). There is marked background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) on the DCE MRI scans. Thus, the known cancer (arrow) is barely visible; it exhibits only slightly stronger enhancement than the normal fibroglandular tissue, which results in low conspicuity. At ultrafast MRI there is less BPE, and still the cancer is barely visible because it starts to enhance simultaneously with the BPE. The conspicuity of the cancer is even reduced compared with the DCE series. Both of the readers missed this cancer on both the DCE and ultrafast MRI scans.](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2025/05/2025-05-06-rsna-ultrafast-dce-mri-breast.Gzvq76udFr.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
