The efficacy of abbreviated breast MRI protocols using 1.5 T MRI in the preoperative staging of newly diagnosed breast cancers.

Purpose: To determine the efficacy of abbreviated breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocols using 1.5 T MRI in the preoperative staging of newly diagnosed breast cancers.

Methods: Eighty patients who underwent 1.

The validity and clinical utility of axillary ultrasonography-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy in detection of nodal metastasis in early-stage breast cancer patients: a retrospective single-center experience.

Background: Assessing the validity and clinical utility of axillary ultrasonography (AUS)-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) in detection of nodal metastasis during preoperative axillary investigation in comparison to the histopathologic diagnosis in early-stage breast cancer.

Methods: A total of 279 operated primary breast cancer patients (age: 55.3 ± 12.

The Association of Postvoiding Residual Volume, Uroflowmetry Parameters and Bladder Sensation.

Purpose: To investigate whether postvoiding residual bladder volume (PVR) and uroflowmetry parameters associate with bladder sensation in male patients with bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and to find out the reliable time of these examinations.

Materials And Methods: Sixty men with bladder outlet obstruction underwent transabdominal ultrasound in order to measure postvoiding residual volume and uroflowmetry. At the first day, PVR was measured while the patients had mild bladder sensation.

The Monitoring of Preoperative External Detorsion with Diffusion-Weighted Imaging in a Patient with Acute Testicular Torsion.

Testicular torsion is one of the main causes of acute scrotum and may result in permanent damage of the testicular tissue. Color Doppler imaging has been frequently used in the diagnosis of testicular torsion and posttreatment follow-up period of the disease. There are some studies reporting the value and usefulness of diffusion-weighted imaging in the diagnosis of testicular torsion.
