ABSTRACT
Objective To study the consistency between pathology and the single and combined diagnosis of negative breast cancer by ultrasonography and mammography.Methods 90 clinical case data of patients with palpable negative breast tumors and mammography revealed small calcifications were retrospective analyzed.All patients were received the high frequency ultrasound.The value of two methods and combined diagnosis in the diagnosis of breast cancer with palpation negative were compared,which the pathological biopsy was the gold standard.Results The pathological showed that there were 58 cases of benign tumors,32 cases of malignant tumors,10 cases of stage 0,18 cases of stage Ⅰ,4 cases of stage Ⅱ.The high frequency ultrasonography was consistent with pathological(Kappa =0.641).The AUC of diagnosiing the breast cancer was 0.775.The molybdenum target radiography was consistent with pathological (Kappa =0.725),and the AUC was 0.830.The high frequency ultrasonography combined with molybdenum target radiography was highly consistent with pathological(Kappa =0.879),and the AUC was 0.934.The accuracy of combined diagnosis was higher than that of high frequency ultrasound (P ＜ 0.05) and molybdenum target radiography(P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The high frequency ultrasonography and molybdenum target radiography have advantages in the diagnosis of palpable negative breast cancer.The joint diagnosis helps to achieve complementary strengths,has high consistency with pathology,and help to improve the diagnostic accuracy.
ABSTRACT
Objective 500 cases undergoing molybdenum target radiography were analysed retrospectively to improve the image quality. Methods influencing factors of 500 cases molybdenum target CR and clinical pathological data in recent 3 months were analysed. All of the patients take CC,MLO phtotography. The machine applied is Siemens 3000, AGFA galactophore special IP boards, and image postprocessor is AGFA ADC Compact. Results In 500 cases, 89 cases without obvious lesions, 389 case with benign lesion, 113 cases are breast cancer. Conclusion To take a satisfying molybdenum target radiograph, patients' features of breasts such as size and shape resulting in different radiation setting, which is the key to get satisfying images, should be understood.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study radiologic (molybdenum target X-ray) findings of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of breast.Methods The molybdenum target X-ray findings of breast DCIS confirmed by operation or pathology in 20 cases were analyzed.All cases were examined with molybdenum target X-ray at axial and lateral oblique positions in both breasts.Results Among 20 patients,16 cases presented calcifications in the lesions,3 cases showed simple masses,1 case appeared as small dense focus.Conclusion Calcifications are mainly X-ray appearances of DCIS,special attention should be payed to the signs such as masses,small dense focus and so on.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the value of breast molybdenum target radiography in evaluating the enlarged axillary lymph nodes in breast diseases.Methods 79 patients underwent breast molybdenum target radiography,including conventional laxial and oblique projection. Some of them were examine furtheremore in compress projection in axillary fossa. The X-ray findings were analysis. And radiologic-pathologic correlation were carried out.Results There were 46 cases of brease carcinoma, 20 cases of hyperplasia,7cases of fibroadenoma,2 cases of plasmacytic mammitis,2cases of lipoma and 2 cases of papilloma in 79 patients. In the 33 cases of breast benign lesion , the enlarged axillary lymph nodes were seen bilaterally in 12 cases, sum was 1 to 5 in each case, smaller than 2 cm in diameter in 31 cases and uneven density in 13 cases were showed. In the 46 cases of brease carcinoma, the enlarged lymph nodes were seen laterally in 43cases, sum was 1 to 4 in each cases, larger than 2 cm in diameter was showed in 17 cases, and all were even density. There were statistical differences in number, diameter and density of enlarged lymph nodes between two groups. Conclusion The enlarged axillary lymph nodes are of different X-ray features in breast benign lesion and malignant lesion,it is helpful in differential diagnosis of breast diseases.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the correlation between the TCM syndromes of mammary hyperplasia patients and their sex hormones,molybdenum target radiography image to establish the objective indexes for its syndrome differentiation.Methods According to the TCM syndrome differentiation,the 346 patients with mammary hyperplasia were diagnosed liver qi stagnation syndrome,phlegm and blood-stasis syndrome,and chong and ren dysfunction syndrome.Their pituitary gonad stimulating hormones,including estradiol(E2),progesterone(PP),testosterone(PT),prolactin releasing hormone(PRL),follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH),and luteotropic hormone(LH) were measured during ovulatory period.At the same time,the molybdenum target radiography examination was given.Results The level of FSH,LH and E2 in mammary hyperplasia patients during ovulatory period was obviously lower,the level of PRL and PP was obviously higher,and the level of PT was not obviously changed.The comparison among groups showed that the level of FSH in chong and ren dysfunction patients was higher than that in liver qi stagnation patients,but the level of LH of the two was just opposite;the level of E2 was lower in an order of liver qi stagnation,phlegm and blood-stasis,and chong and ren dysfunction patients;the molybdenum target radiography image showed that there was mainly the lobular hyperplasia in liver qi stagnation and phlegm and blood-stasis patients and then the nodular type;but there was mainly nodular hyperplasia in chong and ren dysfunction patients and then the lobular type.Conclusion The pituitary gonad stimulating hormones of mammary hyperplasia patients were disordered in the duration of ovulatory period.The level of sex hormones and change of molybdenum target radiography image were different in different TCM syndromes and they can be used as one of the objective indices in TCM syndrome differentiation for diagnosis.
