History-based breast MR generates high yields
Screening women with breast MRI based solely on a personal history of breast cancer found malignancies in 12% of the women studied, with a positive predictive value biopsy rate of 39%.
Screening women with breast MRI based solely on a personal history of breast cancer found malignancies in 12% of the women studied, with a positive predictive value biopsy rate of 39%.
A retrospective review of 1699 breast MRI exams performed from 1999 to 2001 yielded 144 women with prior breast cancer who started regular breast MRI screening. Of the 144 women, 31% underwent biopsies prompted by MRI (AJR 2010;195:510-516).
Sixty-one biopsies found 17 carcinomas and one myxoid liposarcoma. The 10 detected by MRI were more likely than the other seven to be ductal carcinoma in situ or node-negative invasive breast cancer <1 cm in size.
New Literature Review Assesses Merits of Cardiac MRI After Survival of Sudden Cardiac Arrest
April 19th 2024While noting inconsistencies with the diagnostic yield of cardiac MRI in patients who survived sudden cardiac arrest, researchers cited unique advantages in characterizing ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) and facilitating alternate diagnoses.
Study of Ofatumumab for Multiple Sclerosis Shows 'Profoundly Suppressed MRI Lesion Activity'
April 17th 2024The use of continuous ofatumumab in patients within three years of a relapsing multiple sclerosis diagnosis led to substantial reductions in associated lesions on brain MRI scans, according to research recently presented at the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) conference.
