MR Mammary Ductography Using a Microscopy Coil for Assessment of Intraductal Lesions

Comparison of Ductoscopy, Galactography, and Imaging Modalities for the Evaluation of Intraductal Lesions: A Critical Review

“…3, online supplemental material www.karger.com/?DOI=000355833 ). Magnetic resonance galactography using a special microscopic coil (commercially available) can detect ducts measuring 0.8 mm and intraductal lesions as small as 1.0 mm [28] and can visualize both peripheral and proximal ducts, resulting in a higher probability of detecting additional intraductal lesions [29]. Debra Stick developed an intraductal radiofrequency microcoil that can provide microscale images [30].…”

High-resolution MR lymphography using ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide (USPIO) in the evaluation of axillary lymph nodes in patients with early stage breast cancer: preliminary results

“…T1W axial and coronal MR images and T2*W axial and coronal MR images were obtained. Although an inherent property of a 3-inch surface coil is that the signal yield with increasing distance from the coil is low, this coil can display high-level local sensitivity [19]. The MR technique using this coil for the axillary lesion is called highresolution MR lymphography at our institute.…”

Ultrasonographic alterations associated with the dilatation of mammary ducts: feature analysis and BI-RADS assessment

“…Magnetic resonance mammary ductography can potentially be used in the diagnostic assessment of pathological nipple discharge and intraductal lesions [6,7]. With high-resolution real-time equipment, the dilated duct pattern can easily be detected and traced, and an intraductal mass or the presence of an associated mass can be identified [8][9][10][11][12].…”
