SPIO-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging for the Detection of Metastases in Sentinel Nodes Localized by Computed Tomography Lymphography in Patients with Breast Cancer
2011
Background
Superparamagnetic nanoparticle-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has been reported to be a promising improvement for diagnostic imaging of lymph node metastases from various tumors. Moreover, sentinel nodes have been reported to be well identified using computed tomography (CT) lymphography (CT-LG) in patients with breast cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate MR imaging with superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) enhancement for the detection of metastases in sentinel nodes localized by CT-LG in patients with breast cancer.
