Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrasound Molecular Imaging With BR55 in Patients With Breast and Ovarian Lesions: First-in-Human Results.
Jürgen K. Willmann,Lorenzo Bonomo,Antonia Carla Testa,Pierluigi Rinaldi,Guido Rindi,K. Valluru,Gianluigi Petrone,Maurizio Martini,Amelie M. Lutz,Sanjiv S. Gambhir +9 more
TL;DR: USMI with MBKDR is clinically feasible and safe, and KDR-targeted USMI signal matches well with KDR expression on IHC, and this study lays the foundation for a new field of clinical USMI in cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diffusion-weighted imaging in breast cancer: relationship between apparent diffusion coefficient and tumour aggressiveness
Melania Costantini,Paolo Belli,Pierluigi Rinaldi,Enida Bufi,G. G. Giardina,Gianluca Franceschini,Gianluigi Petrone,Lorenzo Bonomo +7 more
TL;DR: The usefulness of diffusion imaging in assessing the aggressiveness of breast tumours is confirmed and ADC appears to be a promising parameter in the evaluation of the degree of malignancy of breast cancer tissue.
Journal ArticleDOI
Planning breast reconstruction with deep inferior epigastric artery perforating vessels: multidetector CT angiography versus color Doppler US.
TL;DR: Considering x-ray exposure and results of this study, employing multidetector CT angiography is suggested only in selected cases and color Doppler US was superior for measuring perforator artery calibers, and CTAngiography was superiorfor estimating the intramuscular course of the perforATOR vessel and identifying superficial venous communications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Planning deep inferior epigastric perforator flaps for breast reconstruction: a comparison between multidetector computed tomography and magnetic resonance angiography
Alessandro Cina,Liliana Barone-Adesi,Pierluigi Rinaldi,A. Cipriani,Marzia Salgarello,Riccardo Masetti,Lorenzo Bonomo +6 more
TL;DR: In a strategy to optimise DIEP flap planning avoiding radiation exposure, MRA can be proposed alternatively to CTA, which are equivalent in demonstrating perforator-venous connections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetic resonance imaging features in triple-negative breast cancer: comparison with luminal and HER2-overexpressing tumors.
Melania Costantini,Paolo Belli,Daniela Distefano,Enida Bufi,Marialuisa Di Matteo,Pierluigi Rinaldi,Michela Giuliani,Gianluigi Petrone,Stefano Magno,Lorenzo Bonomo +9 more
TL;DR: The clinicoradiologic parameters that are independent predictors of TN breast lesions, which might be helpful for earlier prediction of the TN status of a breast lesion, are identified.
