Breast imaging using 3D electrical impedence tomography.

Aim: To determine the diagnostic efficiency of 3D Eletrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) compared to Mammography (MG) and Ultrasonography (USG) in imaging the breast.

Materials And Methods: A group of 88 patients presenting with various breast complaints was examined using combined Mammography and Ultrasonography (MG & USG) or either of these modalities alone. The same patients were then examined using the 3D EIT imaging system "MEIK".

Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia of breast: a case report.

Aim: To present a case of pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia (PASH) and its findings under 1. mammography - MG, 2. ultrasonography - USG and 3.

The value of dynamic contrast enhanced breast MRI in mammographically detected BI-RADS 5 microcalcifications.

Aims: To evaluate the role of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of BI-RADS-5 type of microcalcifications of the breast, to compare the size of the microcalcification lesions using mammography (MG) and MRI, and to determine the value of MRI in surgery for microcalcifications. The study also determines the morphology of microcalcification lesions, assesses kinetic curves and compare MRI features of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) for different histopathological grades.

Methods: Our group consisted of 32 patients with mammographically detected BI-RADS 5 microcalcifications.

A comparison of mammography and ultrasonography in the evaluation of breast masses.

Aim: Aim of the study is to evaluate breast masses using mammography (MG) and ultrasonography (USG) independently and in combination.

Materials And Methods: Our study group consisted of 62 female patients, with breast symptoms such as palpable lumps, pain in the breast and nipple discharge who were examined prospectively over a period of 6 months. All 62 patients were examined by both MG and USG independently.

The role of various modalities in breast imaging.

Background: Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women worldwide. Mammography is considered the "gold standard" in the evaluation of the breast from an imaging perspective. Apart from mammography, ultrasound examination and magnetic resonance imaging are being offered as adjuncts to the preoperative workup.

Spontaneous splenic rupture in two patients with hematologic malignancy.

Background: Spontaneous splenic rupture (SSR) is a very rare complication described in several hundred patients, mainly as case reports. It is defined as a splenic rupture without antecedent injury. The authors of the present paper describe the only two SSR cases diagnosed at the Hemato-oncology department, coincidentally in one year.

Changes in mammographic and ultrasound image of the breast of women undergoing estrogen replacement therapy.

Objective: Evaluation of changes in mammographic and ultrasound image of the breast in female patients undergoing estrogen hormonal replacement therapy (ERT).

Material And Methods: 126 women with surgical menopause in case of benign disease using ERT and a control group of 100 women in menopause with no hormonal replacement therapy were selected for the study. Changes in the mammographic image were monitored in relation to individual types of breast according to Tabár's typology and with regard to the type of ERT application.
