Technology could enhance accuracy of breast biopsy
MADISON - A new technology developed by a research group headed by Nimmi Ramanujam, assistant professor of biomedical engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, will be a "third eye" during breast biopsies and can increase the chance for an accurate clinical diagnosis of breast cancer. Doctors currently use X-ray or ultrasound - two-dimensional pictures - to guide the biopsy nee...Novel biopsy technique for prostate cancer
Recently a more extensive biopsy detecting technique for prostate cancers has been found out by researchers.// This is very effective than the traditional examination. In the traditional exam for prostate cancer, the doctor takes six tissue samples from the prostate gland. At Ohio State University, researchers said that it is better to take more samples. Dr.Robert Bahnson and...Image-Guided Biopsy Can Alter Clinical Decisions In Kidney Patients
Researchers from the University of Michigan say that percutaneous image-guided biopsy is of a great help in kidney disease and can help significantly in accurately// diagnosing and predicting clinical outcomes. The researchers arrived at these conclusions after reviewing reviewed 153 kidney biopsies in 126 patients. They found that the biopsy results altered the decisions in 60 percent of the pat...Maggie Daley to Undergo a Surgery Biopsy to Remove a Tumor from Her Breast
Maggie Daley, Mayor Daley’s wife was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in 2002.// But the doctors recommended chemotherapy till Jan 2006 and suddenly revised her course of treatment and are planning to go in for a surgery biopsy to remove a residual tumor from her right breast. The procedure will be performed at Northwestern Memorial Hospital under a local anesthesia and is expect...MRI-guided Breast Biopsy Pronounced a Success
An MRI-guided breast biopsy successfully removed the breast lesion by taking x-ray of the lesion as well as slices of the lesion, according to radiologists. "Contrast-enhanced// MRI of the breast is becoming increasingly useful in patients with lesions that cannot be detected with other techniques," said Basak Erguvan-Dogan, MD, radiologist in Breast Imaging at the University of Texas M.D. Anders...Specimen Radiography Confirms Success of MRI-Guided Breast Biopsy
Radiologists can help confirm that an MRI-guided breast biopsy has successfully removed the lesion by taking an x-ray of the lesion and slices of the lesion, a new study// shows. “Contrast-enhanced MRI of the breast is becoming increasingly useful in patients with lesions that cannot be detected with other techniques,” said Basak Erguvan-Dogan, MD, radiologist in Breast Imaging at the...Michele Vertebral Biopsy Trephine
