SlicerPET: A workflow based software module for PET/CT guided needle biopsy [PDF]
Biopsy is commonly used to confirm cancer diagnosis when radiologically indicated. Given the ability of PET to localize malignancies in heterogeneous tumors and tumors that do not have a CT correlate, PET/CT guided biopsy may improve the diagnostic yield of biopsies.

Lymphocyte Classification in Hyperspectral Images of Ovarian Cancer Tissue Biopsy Samples [PDF]
Current methods for diagnosing the progression of multiple types of cancer within patients rely on interpreting stained needle biopsies. This process is time-consuming and susceptible to error throughout the paraffinization, Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) staining, deparaffinization, and annotation stages.

Development and evaluation of a prediction model for underestimated invasive breast cancer in women with ductal carcinoma in situ at stereotactic large core needle biopsy. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:We aimed to develop a multivariable model for prediction of underestimated invasiveness in women with ductal carcinoma in situ at stereotactic large core needle biopsy, that can be used to select patients for sentinel node biopsy at primary ...

Effectiveness of core needle biopsy in the diagnosis of thyroid lymphoma and anaplastic thyroid carcinoma: A systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
Both anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) and thyroid lymphoma (TL) clinically present as rapidly enlarging neck masses. Unfortunately, in this situation, like in any other thyroid swelling, a routine fine-needle aspiration (FNA) cytology is the first and ...

Needle bevel geometry influences the flexural deflection magnitude in ultrasound-enhanced fine-needle biopsy [PDF]
It has been recently demonstrated that use of ultrasound increases the tissue yield in ultrasound-enhanced fine-needle aspiration biopsy (USeFNAB) as compared to conventional fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB). To date, the association between bevel geometry and needle tip action has not been widely explored.

An analysis of diagnostic practices in a mammography unit in a tertiary hospital in South Africa
Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in females in South Africa. The reporting of breast imaging has been standardised internationally using the Breast Imaging and Reporting Data System (BI-RADS), which includes guidelines for reporting of

Concordance assay between sonographic and histologic findings in breast lesions under Core Needle Biopsy [PDF]
Introduction: Regarding to high prevalence of breast cancer, it is important to find strategies for early, rapid, convenient and accessible diagnosis. After screening and detecting a lesion in the breast, the type of lesion and the degree of malignancy ...

Impact of touch preparations on core needle biopsies [PDF]
BACKGROUNDTouch preparations (TPs) can be performed for on‐site adequacy assessment of core needle biopsies (CNBs). Although TPs can play a role in decreasing the number of nondiagnostic core biopsies, the impact of TPs on CNB has not been extensively evaluated.METHODSComputerized tomography–guided CNBs performed in a tertiary cancer center were ...
