Detection of benign granular cell tumor of the breast via F-PSMA-PET/CT in a patient with very high-risk prostate cancer: A case report.

Incidental extra-prostatic prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) uptake on initial staging positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scans poses diagnostic challenges, as it can be associated with various benign and malignant lesions. We present the case of a 68-year-old man with very high-risk prostate cancer who was incidentally discovered to have a benign granular cell tumor in the breast initially detected on PSMA-PET/CT. Imaging studies and biopsy were pivotal in the diagnosis, as the tumor's appearance was concerning for breast carcinoma.

Caring for the Deaf, Hard-of-Hearing, Blind, and Low-Vision Patients in the Breast Center.

Two heterogeneous populations with widely varying needs are being increasingly encountered in breast care facilities: blind or low vision patients and deaf or hard of hearing patients. The Americans with Disabilities Act and the Rehabilitation Act mandate that all governments, businesses, and not-for-profit organizations provide effective communication to those facing hearing, vision, or speech communication disabilities and that the provided communication is equally effective as that provided to those lacking communication disabilities. It is vitally important that breast center providers understand the requirements put forth by these acts in the provision of patient care, which includes interactions with the patient as well as their family members and partner.

JOURNAL CLUB: Scatter Radiation Dose From Digital Screening Mammography Measured in a Representative Patient Population.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to quantify the amount of scatter radiation received at the skin surface overlying the thyroid gland, salivary gland, lens of the eye, sternum, and uterus during a routine screening digital mammographic examination measured in a representative patient population.

Subjects And Methods: The subjects were 207 women without symptoms with varied body mass indexes who underwent annual screening mammography while wearing six optically stimulated luminescence dosimeters placed at the bridge of the nose, right submandibular gland, right and left thyroid lobes, mid sternum, and 2 cm caudal to the umbilicus to assess scatter radiation dose to the skin.

Results: The average scatter radiation doses at the skin surface during digital screening mammography in the representative population of women were as follows: overlying the right lobe of the thyroid, 0.

Nonpuerperal mastitis and subareolar abscess of the breast.

Objective: The purpose of this article is to show radiologists how to readily recognize nonpuerperal subareolar abscess and its complications in order to help reduce the time to definitive therapy and improve patient care. To achieve this purpose, the various theories of pathogenesis and the associated histopathologic features are reviewed; the typical clinical characteristics are detailed in contrast to those seen in lactational abscess and inflammatory breast cancer; the common imaging findings are described with emphasis on the sonographic features; correlative pathologic findings are presented to reinforce the imaging findings as they pertain to disease origins; and the various treatment options are reviewed.

Conclusion: Nonpuerperal subareolar mastitis and abscess is a benign breast entity often associated with prolonged morbidity.

A succinct rating scale for radiology report quality.

Context: Poorly written radiology reports are common among residents and are a significant challenge for radiology education. While training may improve report quality, a professionally developed reliable and valid scale to measure report quality does not exist.

Objectives: To develop a measurement tool for report quality, the quality of report scale, with rigorous validation through empirical data.

Pediatric and adolescent breast masses: a review of pathophysiology, imaging, diagnosis, and treatment.

Objective: Pediatric breast masses are relatively rare and most are benign. Most are either secondary to normal developmental changes or neoplastic processes with a relatively benign behavior. To fully understand pediatric breast disease, it is important to have a firm comprehension of normal development and of the various tumors that can arise.

Factors associated with imaging and procedural events used to detect breast cancer after screening mammography.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to characterize the type and frequency of diagnostic evaluations after screening mammography and to summarize their association with the likelihood of biopsy and subsequent breast cancer diagnosis.

Materials And Methods: The data source was 584,470 women with no previous breast cancer from six states in the Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium. In this observational study, we linked data from 1,207,631 routine screening mammograms performed between January 1, 1996, and December 31, 2002, to data on additional imaging, interventional procedures, and biopsy outcome (benign or malignant).

Discovery of breast cancers within 1 year of a normal screening mammogram: how are they found?

Purpose: We sought to determine how breast cancers that occur within 1 year after a normal mammogram are discovered.

Methods: Using population-based mammography registry data from 2000-2002, we identified 143 women with interval breast cancers and 481 women with screen-detected breast cancers. We surveyed women's primary care clinicians to assess how the interval breast cancers were found and factors associated with their discovery.

Hormone therapies in women aged 40 and older: prevalence and correlates of use.

Context: The objective of this paper is to report the prevalence and correlates of both prescription and non-prescription hormone use.

Design/setting/sample: Cross-sectional baseline study from a prospective cohort of 30,448 women receiving mammography in New Hampshire.

Main Outcome Measures: Odds of prescription hormone and non-prescription hormone use.

Likelihood of additional work-up among women undergoing routine screening mammography: the impact of age, breast density, and hormone therapy use.

Background: Mammography screening can involve subsequent work-up to determine a final screening outcome. Understanding the likelihood of different events that follow initial screening is important if women and their health care providers are to be accurately informed about the screening process.

Methods: We conducted an analysis of additional work-up following screening mammography to characterize use of supplemental imaging and recommendations for biopsy and/or surgical consultation and the factors associated with their use.

Life spans and senescent phenotypes in two strains of Zebrafish (Danio rerio).

Zebrafish have become a widely used model organism in developmental biology research. In order to initiate an experimental foundation for aging studies, we have determined some basic gerontological parameters for populations of outbred zebrafish, and the golden sparse strain. Outbred zebrafish manifested a mean life span of about 42 months, with the longest living individual surviving for 66 months.

Correlation between presumed sinusitis-induced pain and paranasal sinus computed tomographic findings.

Background: The correlation between facial and/or head pain in patients clinically suspected of having sinusitis and actual localized findings on sinus computed tomographic (CT) imaging are poorly understood.

Objective: To prospectively evaluate the relationship of paranasal sinus pain symptoms with CT imaging.

Methods: Two hundred consecutive patients referred by otolaryngologists and internists for CT of the paranasal sinuses participated by completing a questionnaire immediately before undergoing CT.
