Abbreviated MRI of the Breast
$390,000Although mammography is the primary method used for breast cancer screening, screening mammography is limited especially in women with dense breasts, which includes nearly 50% of all women in the United States. Despite improvements such as digital mammography, computed aided detection, and digital breast tomosynthesis, breast cancer continues to be a leading cause of cancer-related death in women. The recent proliferation of screening breast ultrasound has led to increased health care costs and false positives, with only a slight improvement in breast cancer detection. It is time for a better test.
This is the first textbook dedicated to the subject of abbreviated breast MRI (AB-MR). The editors are principal investigators in the first multicenter trial evaluating AB-MR. Each chapter is authored by a leading expert in the field of breast MRI.
AB-MR only takes 10 minutes or less to perform, has a comparable cost to screening breast ultrasound, and detects twice as many cancers compared to combined screening with mammography and ultrasound. The improved performance of AB-MR is irrespective of breast density, family history, overall breast cancer risk, and cancer characteristics (e.g. type, staging, invasive or intraductal, primary or recurrent). As such, it will likely become a routine screening tool in women with dense breasts.
Key Features
- A background on breast MR imaging including a review of current research data
- Fundamental guidelines for implementing, performing, and interpreting AB-MR
- Technical approaches with proven efficacy, including biopsy methods
- Accurate interpretation presented in an easy-to-read flow chart format
- More than 250 high quality color illustrations
AB-MR has the potential to help radiologists overcome breast cancer screening limitations and change current standards of practice. This book provides radiologists with the necessary tools to quickly incorporate AB-MR into clinical practice, with an ultimate goal of improved breast cancer detection rates and patient outcomes.

Polak Doppler Cuello y Extremidades / Handbook
$178,000El «Polak» se centra en el estudio por imagen de los vasos de los brazos, las piernas y el cuello. La ATC y la ARM ya nos proporcionan un medio práctico y efectivo de evaluar los grandes vasos del cuerpo. La combinación de estas tres técnicas, la ecografía, la ATC y la ARM, esta reemplazando, a los estudios tradicionales mediante venografía y arteriografía.
¿Cuáles son las ventajas de la ecografía, y en particular de la dúplex y la incluso más reciente imagen mediante flujo de color, en comparación con otras modalidades de imagen no invasivas? La ecografía es portátil, relativamente económica, se puede utilizar en el estudio de estructuras y en la localización del flujo sanguíneo, y se adapta fácilmente al resultado de exámenes seriados en un paciente determinado. Estas ventajas son especialmente relevantes en el estudio de pacientes con enfermedad tromboembólica venosa y lesiones aterosclerosas obstructivas en las arterias.
La ecografía ha demostrado ser una técnica de imagen eficaz y precisa en el diagnóstico de las trombosis venosas. Su función también se está extendiendo a la monitorización de pacientes sometidos a distintas terapias. Un ejemplo de una cuestión que se puede resolver mediante ecografía, por ejemplo, es si la morbilidad crónica que se produce después de un tratamiento con éxito de una trombosis venosa profunda aguda disminuye aplicando un tratamiento precoz y más agresivo. La reabsorción precoz de trombos empleando agentes trombolíticos como la uroquinasa, la estreptoquinasa y t-PA reduce el daño a la cubierta endotelial y a las válvulas de las venas. Sólo monitorizando los cambios en la extensión y el tipo de trombo de forma seriada se podría dar una respuesta a estas cuestiones.
La ecografía se puede utilizar para identificar qué pacientes se podrían beneficiar de las opciones terapéuticas disponibles para tratar la enfermedad arterial carotídea y de la extremidad inferior. También sirve para monitorizar de manera no invasiva los efectos de las intervenciones y detectar la hiperplasia de la fibroíntima, un proceso que suele ser responsable de recurrencias tras endarterectomía, aterectomía, colocación de endoprótesis vasculares y cirugía de derivación arterial. Esta patología es distinta de la aterosclerosis, y produce una estenosis progresiva que suele resultar en la oclusión del vaso afectado. La eficacia de las técnicas de intervención se juzga por su habilidad para restablecer y mantener el flujo sanguíneo normal a la extremidad. El componente Doppler del examen ecográfico detecta los cambios precoces de velocidad del flujo sanguíneo en las zonas en las que se está desarrollando la estenosis. La efectividad de la intervención y de cualquier terapia farmacológica coadyuvante para controlar la proliferación en la fibroíntima puede ser cuantificada y evaluada objetivamente, entonces, con mediciones seriadas.
La imagen ecográfica de alta resolución es un instrumento de gran utilidad para determinar la extensión de la aterosclerosis precoz. Puede mostrar la formación de placas precozmente y medir el grosor de la íntima-media en la pared arterial. El aumento de este grosor en una etapa temprana es indicativo del desarrollo de aterosclerosis, incluso en pacientes jóvenes. Esto no sólo facilita la valoración de la extensión de la aterosclerosis precoz, sino que también sirve para justificar una intervención en un estadio temprano y así prevenir el desarrollo de la enfermedad.
La técnica ecográfica depende en gran manera de la persona que la realice. La habilidad técnica afecta a la calidad de los estudios y a la posibilidad de detectar cambios patológicos tanto en los vasos como en los tejidos blandos circundantes. Incluso cuando el estudio es técnicamente perfecto, las imágenes que conforman el estudio final son seleccionadas entre muchas otras y, por lo tanto, reflejan un sesgo inherente del ecografista. La adquisición de imágenes de TC y RM depende menos de la persona que las realiza que en el caso de la ecografía.
