Measurement of bioelectric and acoustic profile of breast tissue using hybrid magnetoacoustic method for cancer detection

Salim MI, Supriyanto E, Haueisen J, Ariffin I, Ahmad AH, Rosidi B

Med Biol Eng Comput, 2013 Apr;51(4):459-66.
PMID: 23238828 DOI: 10.1007/s11517-012-1014-5

This paper proposes a novel hybrid magnetoacoustic measurement (HMM) system aiming at breast cancer detection. HMM combines ultrasound and magnetism for the simultaneous assessment of bioelectric and acoustic profiles of breast tissue. HMM is demonstrated on breast tissue samples, which are exposed to 9.8 MHz ultrasound wave with the presence of a 0.25 Tesla static magnetic field. The interaction between the ultrasound wave and the magnetic field in the breast tissue results in Lorentz Force that produces a magnetoacoustic voltage output, proportional to breast tissue conductivity. Simultaneously, the ultrasound wave is sensed back by the ultrasound receiver for tissue acoustic evaluation. Experiments are performed on gel phantoms and real breast tissue samples harvested from laboratory mice. Ultrasound wave characterization results show that normal breast tissue experiences higher attenuation compared with cancerous tissue. The mean magnetoacoustic voltage results for normal tissue are lower than that for the cancerous tissue group. In conclusion, the combination of acoustic and bioelectric measurements is a promising approach for breast cancer diagnosis.

Computer-aided detection/diagnosis of breast cancer in mammography and ultrasound: a review

Jalalian A, Mashohor SB, Mahmud HR, Saripan MI, Ramli AR, Karasfi B

Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer among women worldwide. Early detection of breast cancer can increase treatment options and patients' survivability. Mammography is the gold standard for breast imaging and cancer detection. However, due to some limitations of this modality such as low sensitivity especially in dense breasts, other modalities like ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging are often suggested to achieve additional information. Recently, computer-aided detection or diagnosis (CAD) systems have been developed to help radiologists in order to increase diagnosis accuracy. Generally, a CAD system consists of four stages: (a) preprocessing, (b) segmentation of regions of interest, (c) feature extraction and selection, and finally (d) classification. This paper presents the approaches which are applied to develop CAD systems on mammography and ultrasound images. The performance evaluation metrics of CAD systems are also reviewed.

Large breast lump with bloody nipple discharge: benign intraductal papilloma

Cheah SD, Imi Sairi AH

BMJ Case Rep, 2020 Nov 04;13(11).
PMID: 33148555 DOI: 10.1136/bcr-2020-236818

A 32-year-old woman presented with a 3 cm×3 cm left breast lump associated with bloody nipple discharge during her early pregnancy. Examination and ultrasonography showed benign features, whereas core needle biopsies revealed a benign papilloma. Six months after her delivery, a 6 cm×6 cm benign papilloma was completely excised via circumareolar incision. The majority of intraductal papillomas are small; however, they can also present as a large mass rarely. We should be wary of a malignant papillary lesion when there is the presence of atypia on core needle biopsy or imaging-histology discordance. A concordant benign papilloma with benign imaging findings is otherwise reassuring. Clinicians need to be aware of this uncommon presentation of large intraductal papilloma as a complete curative excision can be achieved through a cosmetically placed incision.

Fulltext Florid papillomatosis of the nipple

Dinesh BJ, Hayati F, Azizan N, Abdul Rashid NF

Florid papillomatosis (FP) of the nipple, or nipple adenoma, is a rare breast tumour, affecting middle-aged group population. A 46-year-old woman presented to us with a cauliflower-like FP of the right nipple with no blood stained discharge or breast lump. FP can be mistaken clinically for Paget's disease and occasionally misinterpreted as invasive ductal or intraductal carcinoma. Extensive intervention, correct diagnosis and prompt treatment are essential. Any breast pathology requires triple assessment including FP of the nipple. Once the diagnosis of ductal carcinoma is excluded, simple complete excision can be undertaken. This is to ensure complete obliteration of disease recurrence and preservation of cosmetic result. We discuss the pathology and psychosocial aspects of FP.

A Brief Review on Breast Carcinoma and Deliberation on Current Non Invasive Imaging Techniques for Detection

Vairavan R, Abdullah O, Retnasamy PB, Sauli Z, Shahimin MM, Retnasamy V

Curr Med Imaging Rev, 2019;15(2):85-121.
PMID: 31975658 DOI: 10.2174/1573405613666170912115617

BACKGROUND: Breast carcinoma is a life threatening disease that accounts for 25.1% of all carcinoma among women worldwide. Early detection of the disease enhances the chance for survival.
DISCUSSION: This paper presents comprehensive report on breast carcinoma disease and its modalities available for detection and diagnosis, as it delves into the screening and detection modalities with special focus placed on the non-invasive techniques and its recent advancement work done, as well as a proposal on a novel method for the application of early breast carcinoma detection.
CONCLUSION: This paper aims to serve as a foundation guidance for the reader to attain bird's eye understanding on breast carcinoma disease and its current non-invasive modalities.
