Mammary ductoscopy by helical CT: initial experience. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • The study aimed to visualize small intraductal lesions using helical CT in patients experiencing abnormal nipple discharge. !* -
  • Galactography was combined with CT imaging to create ductal images, which were then diagnosed based on known ductal findings, achieving successful image construction in 9 out of 10 cases. !* -
  • Results indicated that ductal CT is effective for observing minute intraductal lesions, although challenges like color tone visibility and hemorrhage detection remain, highlighting the need for further research. !*

Article Abstract

Background: An attempt was made to visualize minute intraductal lesions using helical CT in patients with abnormal nipple discharge.

Methods: Galactography was performed, immediately followed by CT (ductal CT examination). Based on the image data obtained, ductal images were constructed on a workstation using a Pegasus viewer (ductal CT imaging). Since no criteria for diagnosis by this method are available, ductal CT images were diagnosed by reference to the known ductal fiberscopic findings.

Results: Ductal CT examination was performed in 10 cases, in 9 of whom ductal CT images were successfully constructed. Pathological examination was performed in 8 cases. It was possible to observe the structure of the luminal surface on the constructed ductoscopic images from all directions, but the color tone or the presence or absence of hemorrhage could not be observed.

Conclusions: In the examination for abnormal nipple discharge, ductal CT examination was useful for intraductal observation. Currently, it is a method that allows for observation of the most minute intraductal lesions. However, some issues still remain unresolved. The results of this study suggest that further studies with more cases hold the promise of making ductal CT imaging a useful examination method.
