Abstract:
We report 2 cases of primary breast cancer with swelling of the parasternal lymph nodes detected on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) as small parasternal nodules. After neoadjuvant chemotherapy, DWI showed disappearance of one node but a focus of subtle signal hyperintensity in the other. DWI findings correlated with the results of conventional breast contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
