- Can breast MRI accurately exclude malignancy in mammographic architectural distortion?
CONCLUSION: A negative breast MRI in patients with MAD was reliable in excluding malignancy in this cohort and may have a role as a precision […]
- Clinical Value of Shear Wave Elastography Added to Targeted Ultrasound (Second-Look Ultrasound) in the Evaluation of Breast Lesions Suspicious of Malignancy Detected on Magnetic Resonance Imaging
CONCLUSIONS: Shear wave elastography was useful with targeted US after breast MRI to increase cancer detection by US. A significant number of US […]
