Real-Time Sonoelastography of Parotid Gland Tumors.

Objectives: We sought to determine the performance of real-time sonoelastography in the differential diagnosis of parotid gland tumors.

Methods: Between April, 2014, and June, 2015, 54 parotid gland masses were examined by ultrasound and strain sonoelastography in 46 patients. Real-time sonoelastography using the elasticity score (E-index), which gives an absolute value between 0 (softest) and 6 (hardest), was performed.

Imaging findings of Nasu-Hakola disease: a case report.

Nasu-Hakola disease (NHD), also known as polycystic lipomembranous osteodysplasia and sclerosing leukoencephalopathy, is a rare and fatal hereditary disease with less than 200 cases reported in the literature [Madry H, Prudlo J, Grgic A, Freyschmidt J. Nasu-Hakola disease (PLOSL): report of five cases and review of the literature. Clin Orthop Relat Res 2007;454:262-269].

Clinical outcome assessment in mammography: an audit of 7,506 screening and diagnostic mammography examinations.

Purpose: To perform an audit of our routine mammographic practice and to compare our results to performance benchmarks.

Materials And Methods: We analyzed the outcomes of 7,506 consecutive examinations performed in 1 year. Screening and diagnostic cases were evaluated separately and mammographic assessments were based on the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) classification.
