| Second look US evaluation is frequently performed for assessing incidentally discovered
enhancing lesions seen on MRI. However, the success of the examination
depends on the experience and technique of the operator. Sonographic identification
of an MRI incidentally detected lesion is difficult because the patient’s body is positioned
differently during sonography than it is during MRI. Fusion imaging of MRI and
US has recently been developed, for which a position tracking system is coordinated
with a magnetic sensor. This system synchronizes an ultrasound image and the MR
image with multi-planar reconstruction (MPR) of the same area in real time. The purpose
of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of fusion imaging of MR and US for
evaluating breast lesions. |
