3D Mammography Almost Halves the Incidence of Breast Cancer Between Two Screening Tests

Imaging Technology

milla1cf Wed, 03/20/2024 - 19:12 March 20, 2024 — Interval breast cancer is one that appears between two reviews of a screening program. That is, it is diagnosed after a test whose result was negative and before the next evaluation. For obvious reasons, it is a very reliable indicator of the effectiveness of early detection programs for this disease: if the number of cancers that appear after a screening is high, it is a sign that the program is not working.

BASIC PRINCIPLES OF MR IMAGING

RadQuiz

Magnetic resonance (MR) is a dynamic and flexible technology that allows one to tailor the imaging study to the anatomic part of interest and to the disease process being studied. With its dependence on the more biologically variable parameters of proton density, longitudinal relaxation time (T1), and transverse relaxation time (T2), variable image contrast can be achieved by using different pulse sequences and by changing the imaging parameters.
