New Focus of Enhancement – Benign
HIDEInteractive Transcript
0:01
So this case is discussing a focus, and it's
0:05
a 71-year-old woman for high-risk screening.
0:08
She has a history of right breast cancer,
0:10
and bilateral excisional biopsies, and
0:12
there's a pretty strong family history.
0:15
So, this is the case that I just described,
0:17
and we're seeing STIR images on the left
0:21
and the contrast-enhanced images on the right.
0:26
And just going through this, this
0:30
patient has some foci that are enhancing.
0:35
There's a lumpectomy site
0:37
here in the right breast.
0:41
Then when we get down to this
0:43
lower inner right breast, there's
0:45
this focus that really stands out.
0:49
And a little hard to tell whether
0:52
it's T2 bright, maybe a little bit.
0:56
There's a lot of T2 signal in this
0:57
patient's breast, so it can be hard to tell.
1:00
But this was definitely unique from
1:02
background, and it was new from previous exams.
1:05
So, because it was new, it went ahead to MRI
1:09
guided biopsy, and this was a benign biopsy.
