Areas of higher intensity, which are visualized in this map with brighter shades of red, have higher historical rates of triple-negative breast cancer diagnosed at an advanced stage among women younger than 50 years relative to other areas within New Castle County, Delaware.
Ultrasound features tied to thyroid microcarcinoma tumor growth

Ultrasonic features are tied to increased risk of tumor progression in patients with papillary thyroid microcarcinoma undergoing surveillance.

Progression of hypervascular tumor with lymph node metastasis in a 64-year-old male participant with papillary thyroid microcarcinoma. (A-C) Baseline ultrasound images. (A) Transverse gray-scale image shows a solid hypoechoic thyroid nodule (arrow) with a maximal diameter of 7 mm. (B) Color Doppler image shows hypervascularity, represented by increased vascularity above that of normal thyroid parenchyma (arrows). (C) Transverse gray-scale image shows a small, probably benign lymph node at left level IV (arrow). (D) Transverse ultrasound image at 12-month follow-up demonstrates a suspicious lymph node (arrow) with increased shortest diameter and punctate echogenic foci (arrowhead). Subsequent fine-needle aspiration for this level IV lymph node revealed a metastatic thyroid papillary carcinoma. Image courtesy of Radiology.
