Differentiation of Malignancy and Idiopathic Granulomatous Mastitis Presenting as Non-mass Lesions on MRI: Radiological, Clinical, Radiomics, and Clinical-Radiomics Models.

Rationale And Objectives: To investigate the effectiveness of machine learning-based clinical, radiomics, and combined models in differentiating idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) from malignancy, both presenting as non-mass enhancement (NME) lesions on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and to compare these models with radiological evaluation.

Material And Methods: A total of 178 patients (69 IGM and 109 breast cancer patients) with NME on breast MRI evaluated between March 2018 and April 2022, were included in this two-center study. Age, skin changes, presence of fistula, and abscess were recorded from hospital records.

Idiopathic Granulomatous Mastitis or Breast Cancer? A Comparative MRI Study in Patients Presenting with Non-Mass Enhancement.

Objective: To compare and determine discriminative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) and breast cancer (BC) that present as non-mass enhancement.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study includes 68 IGM and 75 BC cases that presented with non-mass enhancement on breast MRI. All patients with a previous history of breast surgery, radiotherapy, or chemotherapy due to BC or a previous history of mastitis were excluded.

Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma of the Breast: Multimodality Imaging Findings and Review of the Literature.

Rationale And Objectives: Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the breast is a rare type of breast cancer with favorable prognosis. There is limited data on the radiological findings of this rare tumor in literature. The aim of this study is to determine the most common imaging features and review the literature.

Magnetic resonance imaging findings associated with recurrence in idiopathic granulomatous mastitis.

Purpose: To evaluate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings related to recurrence of idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM).

Methods: Demographic data [age, number of births, duration of lactation period, body mass index (BMI) and presence of recurrence] of 71 patients who were diagnosed with IGM were analyzed retrospectively. Characteristics of IGM (maximum width, location, involvement of the retroareolar region, deep tissue, skin), fibroglandular density (FGD), background parenchymal enhancement (BPE), distribution and pattern of contrast enhancement, presence of prepectoral edema, abscesses, fistulae, axillary lymphadenopathies on MRI and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values from the pathological area were recorded.

Association between lesion enhancement and breast cancer in contrast-enhanced spectral mammography.

Background: Contrast-enhanced spectral mammography (CESM) may help to determine the malignancy potential of lesions according to the degree of enhancement.

Purpose: To investigate the correlation between the degree of contrast enhancement of the lesions in contrast-enhanced spectral mammography (CESM) and the final histopathological diagnosis in patients with BI-RADS 4 and 5 lesions.

Material And Methods: CESM was performed in 128 patients who had BI-RADS 4 and 5 lesions on mammography and underwent histopathological examination.

Clinical and radiological outcomes of kinesiotaping in patients with chronic neck pain: A double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled study.

Objectives: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of kinesiotaping (KT) in patients with chronic non-specific neck pain (NSNP) in terms of pain, disability, cervical range of motion (ROM), and cervical lordosis.

Patients And Methods: Between October 2013 and March 2014, a total of 50 patients (10 males, 40 females; mean age 35.1±9.

Diffusion-weighted MR imaging and Doppler ultrasonography in the evaluation of renal parenchyma in acute ureteral obstruction.

Objective: To compare the efficacy of diffusion-weighted (DW) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and Doppler ultrasonography (US) by using quantitative markers in acute unilateral obstruction due to renal stones.

Methods: This prospective study included 28 patients with unilateral ureteral obstruction and 18 healthy control subjects. In Doppler US and DW MR imaging, resistive index (RI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values were measured respectively.
