To assess the prevalence of incidental findings during follow-up scans of patients with oncologic pathology.Methods. 499 follow-up scans from different patients with cancer pathology were retrospectively analyzed. Findings which were not suspected by the clinician or known from previous scans were considered as incidental lesions. We excluded lesions that were already suspected by the clinician or were already recorded in the patient’s history before the initial computed tomography (CT) scan. The CT scans were performed on two different machines (“Siemens Somatom Sensation, 64 slices, Erlangen, Germany” and “Siemens Somatom Emotion, 16 slices, Erlangen, Germany”).Most of the patients had a native scan followed by a thoraco-abdominal-pelvic image acquisition after the injection of intravenous contrast media.Results. 28% of the patients had unsuspected incidental findings. The prevalence of incidental findings was similar: 56.6% of them were found in men and 43.4% ...

Research paper thumbnail of Ultrasound in the diagnosis of papillary breast lesions

They are diagnosed on the basis of a combination of clinical, imaging, and pathological findings and their features carry differing prognostic implications for the affected patients. The aim of this pictorial essay is to review the clinical and pathological findings in papillary breast lesions, to show the advantages and limits of each imaging method in their diagnosis with emphasis on the importance of ultrasound in the differential diagnosis. Also, the spectrum of ultrasound features (conventional, Doppler ultrasound and elastography) of papillary lesions of the breast will be illustrated.

All lesions were retrospectively analyzed by two experienced radiologists, independent from each other, who were not aware of the previous results obtained by using different imaging techniques. All included FLLs had a final histological diagnosis or a final diagnosis based on consensus reading by two experienced radiologists and follow-up at 6 months. The FLLs signal was qualitatively appreciated on the b-800 sequences and on the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) map. The ADC value of each FLL was measured and the ADC ratio between the ADC value of the assessed FLL and that of the surrounding liver parenchyma were calculated. The mean ADC value for benign FLLs as assessed by the two independent reader...
