Q

Breast MRI enhancment patterns

A

Rapid early enhancement with washout suspicious for malignancy
If intermediate early enhancement, may be type 1 (persistant, most benign but could still be malignant) type 3 (plateau - suspicious), or type 3 (washout - highly suspicious)

Peripheral enhancement first is suspicious for malignancy
Central more benign

Q

Cervical carcinoma

A

High T2 signal compared with background low signal Cervix
T2 to assess parametrial invasion to see if surgical candidate - if T2 hypointense cervical ring intact, parametrial infasion unlikely.
CT is primarily for assessing adenopathy (although MR can do similar?)
Most are squamous - HPV 16 and 18
Several adenocarcinoma types- clear cell, endometrioid, mucinous, serous
Also neuroendocrine (small) and adenosquamous) - small cell have a poor outcome
Adenos generally though to give higher rates of mets - thoracic and adrenal

Q

Single reader v double reader v CAD

A

Routine use of CAD significantly increases recall rates. No significant effect on positive predictive value for biopsy – can increase detection rate by 4.7%, sensitivity by 4%.
CADET II study showed cancer detection rates attained with single reading with CAD were equivalent to those attained with double reading.
Performed equally well at recalling patients with cancer in whom the predominant radiologic feature was either a mass or a microcalcification.
Double reading showed superior performance for parenchymal deformities and in women with denser background pattern – i.e. CAD poor at detecting architectural distortion.
Single reader with CAD was better than double reading for asymmetric densities, but the number of these is small and accounted for only 35 of cancers.

Q

Pregnancy screening

A
