Mucocele-like Lesions: Radiologic-Pathologic Correlation.

Mucocele-like lesions (MLLs) of the breast are rare lesions described as dilated, mucin-filled cysts associated with rupture and extracellular mucin in the surrounding stroma. These lesions are of clinical concern because they can coexist with a spectrum of atypical and malignant findings, including atypical ductal hyperplasia, ductal carcinoma in situ, and invasive carcinoma including mucinous carcinoma. Imaging findings of MLLs are nonspecific and varied, although the most common initial finding is that of incidental coarse heterogeneous calcifications on mammography.

The impact of gamification and potential of kaizen in radiology education.

Gamification is an emerging tool in medical education that has been increasingly adopted in the field of radiology. The purpose of this non-systematic review is to explore the use of gamification in medical education with a particular focus on new generations of learners and radiology education. This manuscript begins by examining the effectiveness of gamification in improving learning outcomes in medicine and radiology.

Classifying Breast Cancer Metastasis Based on Imaging of Tumor Primary and Tumor Biology.

The molecular classification of breast cancer has allowed for a better understanding of both prognosis and treatment of breast cancer. Imaging of the different molecular subtypes has revealed that biologically different tumors often exhibit typical features in mammography, ultrasound, and MRI. Here, we introduce the molecular classification of breast cancer and review the typical imaging features of each subtype, examining the predictive value of imaging with respect to distant metastases.

The Impact of Preoperative Breast Volume on Development of Mastectomy Skin Flap Necrosis in Immediate Breast Reconstruction.

Background: Mastectomy skin flap necrosis (MSFN) can significantly impact outcome after immediate breast reconstruction. Several techniques exist to predict MSFN, but these may require additional testing and information, and they are often not available before surgery. We aim to identify whether breast volume, as calculated from preoperative mammography, can be used as a preoperative predictor of MSFN.
