Unilateral Lymphadenopathy After COVID-19 Vaccination: A Practical Management Plan for Radiologists Across Specialties.
Constance D. Lehman,Helen Anne D'Alessandro,Dexter P. Mendoza,Marc D. Succi,Avinash Kambadakone,Leslie R Lamb +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report isolated unilateral axillary lymphadenopathy (i.e., no imaging findings outside of visible lymphadopathy), which is ipsilateral to recent (prior 6 weeks) vaccination, as benign with no further imaging indicated, with ultrasound if clinical concern persists 6 weeks after the final vaccination dose.
Journal ArticleDOI
Blinded comparison of computer-aided detection with human second reading in screening mammography.
Dianne Georgian-Smith,Richard H. Moore,Elkan F. Halpern,Eren D. Yeh,Elizabeth A. Rafferty,Helen Anne D'Alessandro,Mary Staffa,Deborah A. Hall,K A McCarthy,Daniel B. Kopans +9 more
TL;DR: A human second reader or the use of a CAD system can increase the cancer detection rate, but it is found that there is no statistical difference between the two because of the small sample size.
Journal ArticleDOI
External beam accelerated partial-breast irradiation using 32 gy in 8 twice-daily fractions: 5-year results of a prospective study.
Itai Pashtan,Abram Recht,Marek Ancukiewicz,Elena F. Brachtel,Rita F. Abi-Raad,Helen Anne D'Alessandro,Antonin Levy,Jennifer Y. Wo,Ariel E. Hirsch,Lisa A. Kachnic,Saveli Goldberg,Michelle C. Specht,M.A. Gadd,Barbara L. Smith,Simon N. Powell,Alphonse G. Taghian +15 more
TL;DR: Patients with triple-negative breast cancer had a significantly higher IBTR rate than patients with other receptor phenotypes when treated with 3D-APBI, and overall outcomes were excellent, particularly for patients with estrogen receptor-positive disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mitigating the Impact of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Vaccinations on Patients Undergoing Breast Imaging Examinations: A Pragmatic Approach.
TL;DR: In this paper, a pragmatic management approach based on clinical presentation, vaccination delivery, and imaging findings is proposed for patients with axillary adenopathy identified on breast imaging after coronavirus disease (COVID-19) vaccination.
Journal ArticleDOI
The mammary hamartoma: appreciation of additional imaging characteristics.
Dianne Georgian-Smith,Bret Kricun,Grace T. McKee,Eren D. Yeh,Elizabeth A. Rafferty,Helen Anne D'Alessandro,Daniel B. Kopans +6 more
TL;DR: Hamartomas may appear as homogeneously dense, well‐circumscribed masses, varying in appearance from the classically described encapsulated mixed fatty‐fibroglandular mass, if there is radiologic‐pathologic concordance, further surgical excision is not warranted.
