An updated perspective on diagnostics and treatment of idiopathic granulomatous mastitis.

Aim: To present our experiences with the anti-inflammatory treatment of idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) and highlight the imaging and anamnestic specifics of its diagnosis.

Methods: Patients with acute inflammatory breast disease underwent ultrasound examination followed by a collection of anamnestic data, and histological analysis of the process was performed using core-cut bio psy, confirming IGM. Subsequently, anti-inflammatory treatment was administered, consisting of a combination of colchicine, vitamin E, and local compresses made from an infusion of Plantago lanceolata.

Mammography Datasets for Neural Networks-Survey.

Deep neural networks have gained popularity in the field of mammography. Data play an integral role in training these models, as training algorithms requires a large amount of data to capture the general relationship between the model's input and output. Open-access databases are the most accessible source of mammography data for training neural networks.

Idiopathic Granulomatous Mastitis - a new approach in diagnostics and treatment.

Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) is a rare inflammatory breast disease mimicking carcinoma and puerperal or non-puerperal mastitis. The primary purpose of this prospectively performed case control study was to compare clinical and imaging signs of IGM with the reference group of nonspecific, non- puerperal mastitis (NM) to identify the most typical clinical and imaging signs essential for a correct differential diagnosis. The secondary purpose was to present a new approach to non-invasive treatment.

Multiparametric MRI analysis of morphologico-functional features of DCIS - correlation with grade of nuclear atypia.

The aim was to analyze morphologico-functional characteristics of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) in breast MRI to assess signs correlating with the degree of nuclear atypia. From 636 malignant lesions, 114 were DCIS (17.92%): 44 cases of high-grade (38.

Pitfalls of Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS) in determination of breast tumor biological dignity.

The aim of this prospective study was to identify characteristics of breast lesions on contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) that can be a source of diagnostic ambiguity and cause under- or overestimation of examined breast lesions. 215 women (range 23-76 y., mean age 53.

MR-mammography - impact on disease extent determination and surgical treatment of invasive ductal and lobular breast cancers.

Unlabelled: The aim of this study is to assess the impact of multiparametric MR imaging to an exact determination of the extent of invasive ductal and lobular breast cancers in routine clinical practice.180 women aged 27-74 years (median 52.4 years) with newly diagnosed invasive ductal and lobular breast cancers confirmed by core-cut or vacuum-assisted biopsy were examined by all three imaging modalities, i.

Stereotactic vacuum-assisted breast biopsy: our experience and comparison with stereotactic automated needle biopsy.

Objectives: To evaluate and compare the outcome of stereotactically guided percutaneous, directional, vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VAB) with the outcome of those performed with 14-gauge automated gun.

Methods: Between January 2008 and January 2011, altogether 257 stereotactic biopsies were performed in our institute; 193 with the 14-gauge automated needle and 64 with a directional, vacuum-assisted instrument. Patients with malignant or high risk lesions were encouraged to undergo an excisional biopsy.

Digital mammography--a new trend in breast carcinoma diagnostics.

Objectives: To determine the advantages of digital mammography in early detection of breast carcinoma.

Background: A new full field digital mammograph was installed at St. Elisabeth Oncology Institute in Bratislava 13 months ago.
