Abstract:
Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis is a chronic, benign, inflammatory disease of the breast. If the radiological findings are known, patients can be referred for biopsy in the early period. The diagnosis of the disease must be based on a histologic confirmation. After diagnostic and therapeutic management, a radiological follow-up is conducted using an appropriate imaging tool. In this study, we highlight the radiologic evaluations for idiopathic granulomatous mastitis and present specific cases.

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...
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...
