[Magnetic resonance tomography in the diagnosis of breast tumors].

A complete examination (mammography, ultrasonography and magnetic resonance tomography) has been made for 82 patients with breast masses. A high diagnostic efficacy of the dynamic contrast-enhanced MRT of the breast masses has been proved. The paper showed the advantages of dynamic contrast-enhanced tomography, as compared to mammography and US in cases with the small carcinomas developed on the background of the marked fibroadenomatous changes in the breast, in the dense or deformed glandular tissue, in cases of the postoperative scarring as well as with retromammary localization of the tumors.

[Diagnostic possibilities of contrast magnetic resonance tomography].

The practice of examinations of more than 400 patients in the diagnostic center of CRIRR showed a high diagnostic efficiency of contrast MRA, especially in stenoses, occlusions, pathologic bends of the brachiocephalic vessels; aneurysms and stenoses of the abdominal and thoracic aorta, stenoses and occlusions of visceral branches of the abdominal aorta, iliac arteries including condition of vessels after surgical correction. Valuable facts have been obtained in vasorenal hypertension caused by stenoses, occlusions, extravasal compressions, additional arteries, and in the portal system (thrombosis of the main trunk and branches of the portal vein, signs of portal hypertension).
