So I'm going to shift gears here
0:08
This is a tough topic because there's
0:14
And that's because in order to show
0:16
that there is between a zero and 2% chance
0:20
a lot of cases in the study and we just
0:27
But I am going to go over
0:32
of evidence and expert opinion to support
0:37
But this is also really an evolving topic
0:44
years that we'll have larger studies
0:49
what findings we should
0:53
But I think we'll also be moving towards
1:02
often as we can to really limit the number
1:07
due to the cost and the logistics
1:13
But with that being said,
1:15
This is the first finding that...
1:17
There's agreement that fit criteria
1:20
And it is a long kind of a theme
1:23
and this is that oval circumscribed mass.
1:25
So I'm starting off by showing a MIP MRI
1:28
image and I like looking at these MIP
1:34
because it kind of gives a lay of the land
1:39
And right away we see this mass
1:43
at the MIP, we don't know if it's upper or
1:50
We like to use the subtraction view
1:58
So here's our first run subtraction.
2:00
We typically do three post-contrast
2:06
This is the first of those
2:09
post-contrast images and it's
2:13
So the only things that are bright
2:17
there's contrast in them
2:19
And here is this mass
2:23
It's in the upper inner left breast.
2:28
It is homogeneously enhancing,
2:32
it has an oval shape
2:37
And this is very typical
2:43
similar to what we saw
2:45
This is that oval circumscribed mass
2:51
this could be an appropriate BI-RADS 3.
2:53
We do need to check a few other things
2:55
before we can conclude that this
2:59
So first is we want to look at the T2.
3:08
We want there to be a T2.
3:12
We want it to be hyperintense on the T2 series.
3:19
So here is that finding on the T2 and we
3:26
So that is also consistent
3:32
And then we like...
3:33
we want to look at the kinetics
3:34
and make sure that the
3:40
This is a MIP of the kinetics.
3:45
We see that finding here
3:48
That's Type 1 persistent kinetics,
3:52
that's suggestive of a more benign
3:57
So this does fit criteria
4:03
We could do a six-month follow-up MRI.
4:07
But sometimes we'll also recommend,
4:12
we'll recommend that we do a second
4:18
And if we can see the finding
4:19
on ultrasound, then we can follow
4:23
And that's going to be a lot more
4:25
comfortable for the patient, a lot less
4:31
It's also helpful because we have much
4:33
larger data to support the use
4:37
So if the finding meets all of those
4:40
we feel very comfortable
4:45
an ultrasound correlate, if we can't see
4:49
ultrasound, then we would do a six-month
4:54
And similar to mammogram and ultrasound,
4:57
we would want to show stability at 6
5:03
with an optional additional
5:08
to show that this finding is not changing.
5:13
we could change the BI-RADS to a BI-RADS 2,
5:16
if we feel that it's changed in a way
5:21
or if it's increasing in size or changing
5:25
we could change to a BI-RADS 4
