This paper presents the Wavelia microwave breast imaging system that has been recently installed at the Galway University Hospital, Ireland, for a first-in-human pilot clinical test. Microwave breast imaging has been extensively investigated over the last two decades as an alternative imaging modality that could potentially bring complementary information to state-of-the-art modalities such as X-ray mammography. Following an overview of the main working principles of this technology, the Wavelia imaging system architecture is presented, as are the radar signal processing algorithms that are used in forming the microwave images in which small tumors could be detectable for disease diagnosis. The methodology and specific quality metrics that have been developed to properly evaluate and validate the performance of the imaging system using complex breast phantoms that are scanned at controlled measurement conditions are also presented in the paper. Indicative results from the application of this methodology to the on-site validation of the imaging system after its installation at the hospital for pilot clinical testing are thoroughly presented and discussed. Given that the imaging system is still at the prototype level of development, a rigorous quality assessment and system validation at nominal operating conditions is very important in order to ensure high-quality clinical data collection.

Background: Breast cancer is the most common cause of cancer death for women worldwide. The accurate clinical staging of patients with breast cancer is important in determining the most appropriate treatment. The present study investigated the value of staging CECT in detecting asymptomatic distant (lung, liver and bone) metastases in patients with primary breast cancer. Material And Method: 30 patients with Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System category (BI-RADS) 4, 5 and 6 lesions underwent unenhanced breast CTand contrast material enhanced CTbefore histopathological correlation. Result And Discussion: In present study, 5(16.6%) cases shows metastasis into the lungs, 3(10%) cases shows metastasis into the liver, 3(10%) cases shows metastasis into the bones, 1(3.3%)case show metastasis into multiple site(lung and liver), 18(60%) cases shows no any evidence of metastasis. By contrast, 12 of 30 patients (40%) with stage III were upstaged to stage IV and 13 patients (43.3%) of those were originally stage IIIB or IIIC. Conclusion:CECTappears as an essential imaging modality to detect presence, extent and localisation of metastasis.

Abstract Molecular breast imaging (MBI) is an increasingly recognized nuclear medicine imaging modality to detect breast lesions suspicious for malignancy. Recent advances have allowed the development of tissue sampling of MBI-detected lesions using a single-headed camera (breast-specific gamma imaging system) or a dual-headed camera system (MBI system). In this article, we will review current indications of MBI, differences of the two single- and dual-headed camera systems, the appropriate selection of biopsy equipment, billing considerations, and radiation safety. It will also include practical considerations and guidance on how to integrate MBI and MBI-guided biopsy in the current breast imaging workflow.
