“…Recent advances in imaging techniques have led to improved diagnosis of lymphedema. Computed tomography 6 and magnetic resonance imaging 7 with and without lymphography are commonly used for the display of lymphatics; a novel, easy, safe, and cost-effective technique, however, has also been recently elaborated to show lymphatic vasculature without radionuclide tracer using near-infrared fluorescent imaging where the water-soluble indocyanine-green dye is capable of illuminating especially the superficial lymphatic network. 8 Prophylaxis Total or segmental limb volume changes (≥3%) should alert caregivers to the early development of lymphedema.…”

Background: Fusion image improves lesion detectability and can be an effective tool for percutaneous ultrasound (US)-guide procedure. We describe the clinical benefit of US-guided lung biopsy using fusion image. Purpose: To retrospectively compare the diagnostic accuracy and complication rates of US-guided lung biopsy with B-mode alone and those of a fusion image created using real-time US and computed tomography (CT). Materials and Methods: Between September, 2013 and September, 2016, 50 peripheral lung lesions in 50 patients (40 males, 10 females; median, 74 years old) were performed by US-guided percutaneous cutting needle biopsy using the B-mode alone or fusion image. Final diagnoses were based on surgical outcomes or clinical follow-up results for at least 12 months after biopsy. To assess prebiopsy characteristics, all lesions were divided into two groups: group 1 (identification on B-mode) and group 2 (identification on fusion image). Results: Of 50 peripheral lesions, 40 lesions (80%) were detected by means of B-mode alone (group 1), and 10 lesions (20%) were identified by fusion image (group 2). The diagnostic accuracy of group 1 was 90% (36/40 lesions), and the diagnostic accuracy of group 2 was 100% (10/10 lesions). Nodule type and the size of the lesions showed significant group wise differences (p < 0.001 and p = 0.02, respectively

“…Yamamoto et al (10) reported that fusion imaging of real-time ultrasound and CT-lymphography improved the preoperative detection of sentinel lymph nodes, and its accuracy for predicting metastasis was 81%. Breast MRI and ultrasound are the most popular imaging modalities for the assessment of preoperative stages of breast cancer.…”

“…Breast MRI and ultrasound are the most popular imaging modalities for the assessment of preoperative stages of breast cancer. Breast MRI is a sensitive imaging technique for detection of breast cancer; however, it has a wide range of specificity and high false positive rates (1011121314). Breast ultrasound is a very convenient way to evaluate breast and lymph nodes, but is dependent on the doctors' experience and equipment.…”

Real-time magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) navigated ultrasound is an image fusion technique to display the results of both MRI and ultrasonography on the same monitor. This system is a promising technique to improve lesion detection and analysis, to maximize advantages of each imaging modality, and to compensate the disadvantages of both MRI and ultrasound. In evaluating breast cancer stage preoperatively, MRI and ultrasound are the most representative imaging modalities. However, sometimes difficulties arise in interpreting and correlating the radiological features between these two different modalities. This pictorial essay demonstrates the technical principles of the real-time MRI navigated ultrasound, and clinical implementation of the system in preoperative evaluation of tumor extent, multiplicity, and nodal status in breast cancer patients.

Prospective ultrasonographic prediction of sentinel lymph node metastasis by real-time virtual sonography constructed with three-dimensional computed tomography–lymphography in breast cancer patients

Abstract: If cortical thickness of the SLN is less than 2.5 mm, SLN metastasis is unlikely to be present. If cortical thickness of the SLN is at least 2.5 mm, preoperative fine-needle aspiration cytology may be recommended to verify the possibility of SLN metastasis.
