Clinical Imaging of Microwave Mammography
Published on: November 14, 2025
Abstract:
Mammography is perhaps the most heavily legislated medical procedure, and medical malpractice lawsuits are filed against mammographers for several reasons, including mammogram misread and delayed diagnosis. Perhaps the driving force behind mammography litigation is public perception of mammography's effectiveness. Surveys have indicated that the public attributes 100% sensitivity to mammography, whereas its actual sensitivity is approximately 79%. Fear of litigation affects mammography practice, and several initiatives have been suggested to address the problem of rampant mammography litigation, including increasing public awareness, to improve working conditions for mammographers and to ensure the future of this lifesaving procedure.

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...

Description of the Procedures
Computed Tomography (CT) scan:
Computed Tomography (CT) scans use X-ray technology to generate detailed images of bones, organs, and tissues. During the scan, the patient lies on a moving table...
Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
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...
