Stereotactic biopsy with contrast-enhanced mammography: the initial Australian experience.

Introduction: Contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) and MRI detect 'contrast-only' lesions (COLs) occult on standard breast imaging (ultrasound and conventional mammography). Until recently, MRI was the only reliable method of biopsy. This study presents the first Australian experience with CEM-guided biopsy (CEMBx) and the lessons learnt.

Cinematic versus volume rendered imaging for the depiction of complex congenital heart disease.

Introduction: Planning for surgical intervention for patients with complex congenital heart disease requires a comprehensive understanding of the individual's anatomy. Cinematic rendering (CR) is a novel technique that purportedly builds on traditional volume rendering (VR) by converting CT image data into clearly defined 3D reconstructions through the stimulation and propagation of light rays. The purpose of this study was to compare CR to VR for the understanding of critical anatomy in unoperated complex congenital heart disease.
