Re-attendance in supplemental breast MRI screening rounds of the DENSE trial for women with extremely dense breasts.

Objectives: Supplemental MRI screening improves early breast cancer detection and reduces interval cancers in women with extremely dense breasts in a cost-effective way. Recently, the European Society of Breast Imaging recommended offering MRI screening to women with extremely dense breasts, but the debate on whether to implement it in breast cancer screening programs is ongoing. Insight into the participant experience and willingness to re-attend is important for this discussion.

Supplemental Breast MRI for Women with Extremely Dense Breasts: Results of the Second Screening Round of the DENSE Trial.

Background In the first (prevalent) supplemental MRI screening round of the Dense Tissue and Early Breast Neoplasm Screening (DENSE) trial, a considerable number of breast cancers were found at the cost of an increased false-positive rate (FPR). In incident screening rounds, a lower cancer detection rate (CDR) is expected due to a smaller pool of prevalent cancers, and a reduced FPR, due to the availability of prior MRI examinations. Purpose To investigate screening performance indicators of the second round (incidence round) of the DENSE trial.

MR Imaging as an Additional Screening Modality for the Detection of Breast Cancer in Women Aged 50-75 Years with Extremely Dense Breasts: The DENSE Trial Study Design.

Women with extremely dense breasts have an increased risk of breast cancer and lower mammographic tumor detectability. Nevertheless, in most countries, these women are currently screened with mammography only. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has the potential to improve breast cancer detection at an early stage because of its higher sensitivity.

[3-D ultrasound of the breast: less dependent on the investigator].

Three-dimensional (3-D) ultrasound is a technique, in which almost the entire breast is automatically scanned. Data sets can be stored and reviewed at a later date. This almost completely eliminates the subjective character of conventional ultrasound, enabling a more reliable review and follow-up.

Intratendinous ganglion of the long head of the biceps tendon: US and MRI features (2010: 9b). Intratendinous ganglion.

We present a case report and literature review of the ultrasound (US) and magentic resonance imaging (MRI) features of an intratendinous ganglion originating from the long head of the biceps tendon. Intratendinous ganglia are very rare entities and intratendinous ganglion of the long head of the biceps tendon has only been described once. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report presenting the sonographic features of an intratendinous ganglion originating from the long head of the biceps tendon.
