Negative Predictive Value of Non-Echo-Planar Diffusion Weighted MR Imaging for the Detection of Residual Cholesteatoma Done at 9 Months After Primary Surgery Is not High Enough to Omit Second Look Surgery.

Objectives: To evaluate non echo-planar diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging (non-EP DW MRI) at 9 months after primary surgery to rule out residual cholesteatoma in patients scheduled before second-look-surgical exploration.

Study Design: Prospective observational study.

Setting: Secondary teaching hospital.

[Referral for mammography often not according to guideline].

Objective: To analyse the percentage of women with a family history of breast cancer referred by general practitioners (GPs) for a screening mammography in accordance with the Dutch Breast Cancer Guideline produced by the Netherlands Comprehensive Cancer Centre (IKNL).

Design: Prospective cohort study.

Method: Women referred by their GP between December 2011 and December 2012 for mammography, with the indication "family history of breast cancer", were invited to take part in this study.
