The aim of this paper is to review all clinical applications of diffusion weighted MR imaging (DWI) for breast pathology. The challenge of DWI is to obtain the best compromise between lesion detection and characterization. Technical factors affecting lesion characterization and detection are detailed including the effect of contrast administration, the choice of number of b and of b(max), the variation of diagnostic performance according to the type and the size of lesion studied.

Purpose: This work aims to raise a novel design for navigator-free multiband (MB) multishot uniform-density spiral (UDS) acquisition and reconstruction, and to demonstrate its utility for high-efficiency, high-resolution diffusion imaging.
Theory And Methods: Our design focuses on the acquisition and reconstruction of navigator-free MB multishot UDS diffusion imaging. For acquisition, radiofrequency-pulse encoding was used to achieve controlled aliasing in parallel imaging in MB imaging.

Objectives: Pancreatic diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) has numerous clinical applications, but conventional single-shot methods suffer from off resonance-induced artifacts like distortion and blurring while cardiovascular motion-induced phase inconsistency leads to quantitative errors and signal loss, limiting its utility. Multishot DWI (msDWI) offers reduced image distortion and blurring relative to single-shot methods but increases sensitivity to motion artifacts. Motion-compensated diffusion-encoding gradients (MCGs) reduce motion artifacts and could improve motion robustness of msDWI but come with the cost of extended echo time, further reducing signal.

Background: Autologous fat injection in facial reconstruction is a common cosmetic surgery. Although cerebral fat embolism (CFE) as a complication is rare, it carries serious health risks.
Case Summary: We present a case of a 29-year-old female patient who developed acute CFE following facial fat filling surgery.

Background: Axillary lymph node metastasis (ALNM) is a significant predictor of overall patient survival; thus, precise evaluation of ALNM is essential for staging breast cancer, informing multimodal treatment strategies, and ensuring optimal patient care. This study aimed to establish a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scoring system for predicting extensive axillary nodal metastasis in patients with clinically node-negative breast cancer derived from preoperative breast and axillary MRI.
Methods: This study included 226 patients with clinically node-negative breast cancer who underwent preoperative breast and axillary MRI between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2020 at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital.
Development and validation of a radiomics-based nomogram for predicting two subtypes of HER2-negative breast cancer.

Background: Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor among women, with an increasing incidence each year. The subtypes of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative breast cancer, classified as HER2-low and HER2-zero based on HER2 receptor expression, show differences in clinical characteristics, therapeutic approaches, and prognoses. Distinguishing between these subtypes is clinically valuable as it can impact treatment strategies, including the use of next-generation antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) targeting HER2-low tumors.
