Paper from my Stanford colleague, Deb Ikeda, showing that false -ve scans can occur in invasive ductal carcinoma and that the presence of a choline peak on 1H MRS as malignancy marker is related to the k21 value of the invasive tumor being imaged

Lymphatic invasion of the primary tumor and the number of tumor-involved sentinel lymph nodes (SLN) were significantly correlated with non-SLN metastasis. These 2 factors could be used together to select a sub-group of patients who may not benefit from complete ALND despite a positive SLNB

3D imaging has great clinical potential during the expansion process. By comparing the unaffected side to the implant size to be inserted, you can predict the relative volume deficiencies and the extent of change required in the contralateral breast

During breast implant evaluation, clinical examination, mammography and ultrasound can be used as the first examination in the follow-up of symptomatic and symptom free patients. MRI is the most sensitive test and it's utility is mainly in the detection of intra-capsular rupture and imaging findings suspicious at mammograms and ultrasound
