Abstract
ECR 2014, Part D
Highlights
After evaluating the study we published last year about “Dose saving and image quality of digital mammography acquired without anti-scatter grid in combination with a novel software-based scatter correction (SBSC)”, we validated the effects of this technique in our daily routine in breast imaging
Domenig; Vienna/ATDynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)) is widely used for diagnosis and staging, and assessment of the treated breast and image-guided interventions. This presentation aims to provide a comprehensive overview on the indications of DCE-MRI in patients prior to and after breast cancer therapy, to become familiar with the DCE-MRI features of the treated breast and to learn about MR image-guided interventions in case of suspected recurrence
Learning Objectives: 1. To investigate whether multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows lesion localization in prostate cancer in patients scheduled for MR/US fusion biopsy and whether the findings correlate with new ultrasound techniques
Summary
Multimodality lunch symposium: what does a breast imaging system have to perform?. Automated 3D breast ultrasound (US) is a new technique, which scans the breast automatically and almost entirely. This new technique may eliminate the subjectivity of conventional 2D ultrasound and disconnect the acquisition and assessment of US data It facilitates the possibility of double reading, review of follow-up studies and the application of computer-aided detection. In our efforts to increase the specificity of breast MRI, in recent years many additions to the basic breast MRI protocol have been proposed These include T2, diffusion-weighted imaging and spectroscopy. Due to the recent improvement in the image quality of very fast dynamic series, it is possible to document contrast inflow in the tumour at a high spatial resolution. It is possible to limit the dynamic evaluation to the inflow only, shortening the scan protocol to approximately 2 minutes This highly increases the feasibility of breast MRI as a screening tool. A variety of reasons have to be understood to be really helpful to the patients
