PURPOSE Placing clips in nodes with biopsy-confirmed metastasis before initiating neoadjuvant therapy allows for evaluation of response in breast cancer. Our goal was to determine if pathologic changes in clipped nodes reflect the status of the nodal basin and if targeted axillary dissection (TAD), which includes sentinel lymph node dissection (SLND) and selective localization and removal of clipped nodes, improves the false-negative rate (FNR) compared with SLND alone. METHODS A prospective study of patients with biopsy-confirmed nodal metastases with a clip placed in the sampled node was performed. After neoadjuvant therapy, patients underwent axillary surgery and the pathology of the clipped node was compared with other nodes. Patients undergoing TAD had SLND and selective removal of the clipped node using iodine-125 seed localization. The FNR was determined in patients undergoing complete axillary lymphadenectomy (ALND). RESULTS Of 208 patients enrolled in this study, 191 underwent ALND, with residual disease identified in 120 (63%). The clipped node revealed metastases in 115 patients, resulting in an FNR of 4.2% (95% CI, 1.4 to 9.5) for the clipped node. In patients undergoing SLND and ALND (n = 118), the FNR was 10.1% (95% CI, 4.2 to 19.8), which included seven false-negative events in 69 patients with residual disease. Adding evaluation of the clipped node reduced the FNR to 1.4% (95% CI, 0.03 to 7.3; P = .03). The clipped node was not retrieved as an SLN in 23% (31 of 134) of patients, including six with negative SLNs but metastasis in the clipped node. TAD followed by ALND was performed in 85 patients, with an FNR of 2.0% (1 of 50; 95% CI, 0.05 to 10.7). CONCLUSION Marking nodes with biopsy-confirmed metastatic disease allows for selective removal and improves pathologic evaluation for residual nodal disease after chemotherapy.

OBJECTIVE We retrospectively reviewed imaging findings for 44 patients with triple receptor-negative breast carcinomas on mammography, sonography, and MRI to determine the imaging characteristics of triple receptor-negative cancers that may improve diagnosis at the time of presentation. CONCLUSION Despite their large size at presentation, triple receptor-negative cancers may be occult on mammography or sonography and frequently have benign or indeterminate features. MRI identified all triple receptor-negative cancers and showed features that had a high positive predictive value for malignancy.

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this article is to correlate 9-gauge MRI-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsy with surgical histologic findings to determine the upgrade rate and to correlate the frequency of MRI-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsy cancer diagnosis with breast MRI indications and enhancement characteristics of targeted lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS A database search was performed of all MRI-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsies performed from January 1, 2005, to September 31, 2010. The breast MRI indications, history, age, risk factors, lesion size, enhancement characteristics, and pathologic diagnoses at MRI-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsy and at surgery were documented. Fisher exact test and analysis of variance were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS A total of 218 lesions underwent MRI-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsy in 197 women (mean age, 52 years; range, 28-76 years), of which 85 (39%) had surgical correlation. Of the 218 lesions, 48 (22%) were malignant, 133 (61%) were benign, and 37 (17%) were high risk according to MRI-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsy. Ten of 85 lesions (12%) were upgraded to malignancy at surgery, with a final malignancy rate of 25%. The frequency of malignancy was significantly higher in patients presenting for diagnostic (50/177 [28%]) versus screening (4/41 [10%]; p < 0.05) evaluation, patients with ipsilateral cancer (22/49 [45%]; p < 0.001), and lesions with washout kinetics (34/103 [33%]; p < 0.05) and was relatively higher in lesions with nonmasslike enhancement (26/76 [34%]; p = 0.07), which represented ductal carcinoma in situ in the majority of cases (17/26 [65%]; p < 0.005). CONCLUSION Patients with ipsilateral cancer who have additional suspicious lesions identified on MRI require careful evaluation and biopsy to exclude additional sites of cancer that may impact surgical management.

Full-field digital mammography systems are currently available for clinical use. These digital systems offer improved image quality, flexible image processing, display, storage, retrieval, and transmission. These systems employ a variety of different x-ray detectors based on storage phosphors (in computed radiography), charge-coupled devices (CCDs), or amorphous silicon flat panels (FPs). The objective of this study is to compare three different types of mammographic detectors: screenfilm (SF) combination, a CsI-based FP detector, a CCD and x-ray phosphor-based detector for their performance in detection of simulated microcalcifications. Microcalcifications (MCs) were simulated with calcium carbonate grains of various sizes (90-355 microm). They were overlapped with a slab of simulated 50% adipose/50% glandular breast tissue for a uniform background or an anthropomorphic breast phantom for a tissue structure background. Images of the phantoms, acquired with and without magnification, were reviewed by mammographers, physicists, and students. A five-point confidence level rating was given for each MC reviewed. Average ratings from the mammographers were used to compare the performances of the three imaging systems, various MC size groups, and two magnification modes. The results indicate that with uniform background and no magnification, the FP system performed the best while the SF system did slightly better than the CCD system. With magnification added, all detection tasks were improved except for the smallest and largest one or two size groups. In particular, detection in the SF and CCD images was significantly improved over that in the FP images. With tissue structure background and no magnification, the FP system was outperformed by the SF and the CCD systems. With magnification added, the performance of the FP and the CCD systems was improved significantly. With this improvement, the SF and FP systems were outperformed by the CCD system.

The Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS®) is a standardized system of reporting breast pathology as seen on mammogram, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging. It encourages consistency between reports and facilitates clear communication between the radiologist and other physicians by providing a lexicon of descriptors, a reporting structure that relates assessment categories to management recommendations, and a framework for data collection and auditing. This article highlights the changes made to the BI-RADS® atlas 5th edition by comparison with its predecessor, provide a useful resource for a radiologist attempting to review the recent changes to the new edition, and serve as a quick reference to those who have previously become familiar with the material.

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to compare the potential influence of imaging variables on surgical margins after preoperative radioactive seed localization (RSL) and wire localization (WL) techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 565 women with 660 breast lesions underwent RSL or WL between May 16, 2012, and May 30, 2013. Patient age, lesion type (mass, calcifications, mass with associated calcifications, other), lesion size, number of seeds or wires used, surgical margin status (close positive or negative margins), and reexcision and mastectomy rates were recorded. RESULTS Of 660 lesions, 127 (19%) underwent RSL and 533 (81%) underwent WL preoperatively. Mean lesion size was 1.8 cm in the RSL group and 1.8 cm in the WL group (p = 0.35). No difference in lesion type was identified in the RSL and WL groups (p = 0.63). RSL with a single seed was used in 105 of 127 (83%) RSLs compared with WL with a single wire in 349 of 533 (65%) WLs (p = 0.0003). The number of cases with a close positive margin was similar for RSLs (26/127, 20%) and WLs (104/533, 20%) (p = 0.81). There was no difference between the RSL group and the WL group in close positive margin status (20% each, p = 0.81), reexcision rates (20% vs 16%, respectively; p = 0.36), or mastectomy rates (6% each, p = 0.96). Lesions containing calcifications were more likely to require more than one wire (odds ratio [OR], 4.44; 95% CI, 2.8-7.0) or more than one seed (OR, 7.03; 95% CI, 1.6-30.0) when compared with masses alone (p < 0.0001). Increasing lesion size and the presence of calcifications were significant predictors of positive margins, whereas the use of more than one wire or seed was not (OR, 0.9; 95% CI, 0.5-1.5) (p = 0.75). CONCLUSION Close positive margin, reexcision, and mastectomy rates remained similar in the WL group and RSL group. The presence of calcifications and increasing lesion size increased the odds of a close positive margin in both the WL and RSL groups, whereas the use of one versus more than one seed or wire did not.

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to test the feasibility of 3-T vacuum-assisted large-bore core biopsy of lesions detected with MRI of the breast. CONCLUSION Our preliminary experience revealed that 3-T MRI-guided vacuum-assisted biopsy is a safe and effective interventional method that enables accurate biopsy of lesions identified with a 3-T MRI system. Artifacts on 3-T images did not result in failed biopsy; therefore, 3-T MRI systems can be used reliably for both diagnostic and interventional breast studies.

Ultrasound is an important tool in the evaluation of breast lesions and in guiding interventional procedures in the breast. It is a real-time imaging modality, and, in experienced hands and with state-of the art equipment, sonography yields fast and accurate results. When combined with clinical examination and mammography, the accuracy of sonography approaches 99% for the preoperative diagnosis of breast lesions. 1 The availability of portable ultrasound equipment has expanded ultrasound’s usage in the operating room as an invaluable tool for radiologists and surgeons. In addition to intraoperative localization of breast lesions with or without a localizing wire, intraoperative ultrasound may be used for hematoma-guided excision of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided or stereotactically biopsied lesions which were occult on preoperative sonography. 2,3 Intraoperative ultrasound is an important tool that can facilitate obtaining negative margins at surgical excision, a critical component of single-step breast conserving surgery. Intraoperative specimen ultrasound is used in many centers to verify that the targeted lesion was excised and to evaluate surgical margins. In this article, we review wellestablished and more recent applications of intraoperative ultrasound.
