Several studies show that a significantly stronger association is obvious between increased body mass index (BMI) and higher breast cancer incidence. Additionally, obese and postmenopausal women are at higher risk of all-cause and breast cancer-specific mortality compared with non-obese women with breast cancer. In this context, increased levels of estrogens, excessive aromatization activity of the adipose tissue, overexpression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, insulin resistance, adipocyte-derived adipokines, hypercholesterolemia, and excessive oxidative stress contribute to the development of breast cancer in obese women.

Axillary lymphadenopathy (LA) after COVID-19 vaccination is now known to be a common side effect. In these cases, malignancy cannot always be excluded on the basis of morphological imaging criteria.Narrative review for decision-making regarding control and follow-up intervals for axillary LA according to currently published research.

Objectives: Vascular ultrasound is commonly used to diagnose giant cell arteritis (GCA). Most protocols include the temporal arteries and axillary arteries, but it is unclear which other arteries should be included. This study investigated whether inclusion of intima media thickness (IMT) of the common carotid artery (CCA) in the ultrasound evaluation of GCA improves the accuracy of the examination.

Background: The versatile musculocutaneous latissimus dorsi flap and the thoracodorsal artery (TDA) perforator flap have developed into indispensable approaches in reconstructive surgery. While the anatomy of the TDA is consistent, the skin perforators vary in location and course. Dynamic infrared thermography (DIRT) recently gained popularity for perforator identification; however, its use and accuracy in thoracodorsal artery perforator (TDAP) mapping is yet to be determined.

From the Department of Radiology, Unidad Central de Radiodiagnóstico de la CAM, Hospital Universitario Infanta Leonor, Av Gran Vía del Este 80, Madrid 28031, Spain (R.M.L.R., J.A.A., C.O.F., A.P.B.); Department of Radiology, Universidad Complutense de Madrid-Facultad de Medicina, Madrid, Spain (J.A.A.); and Department of Radiology, Hospital Central de la Defensa Gómez Ulla, Madrid, Spain (J.A.H.).
Contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) involves addition of intravenous iodinated contrast material at digital mammography, thus increasing the ability to detect breast cancer owing to tumor contrast enhancement. After image acquisition, interpretation includes careful assessment of the technique, artifacts, and pitfalls and reporting with a standard lexicon category and appropriate follow-up recommendations. Artifacts and pitfalls that may cause image misinterpretation should be detected and distinguished from pathologic conditions.
