"A clinician has to be trained in differentiating between malignancy patterns of tissue and benign patterns," said Dr. Elbaum, who is also president of Electro-Optical ScIrvingtonN.YrviN.YoN.YN.Y.
Certain benign patterns maybe epileptiform, yet can occur in healthy individuals without epilepsy.
In CA patients not treated with TH, 84% of survivors had benign patterns whereas 88% of nonsurvivors had malignant patterns [ 30].
In subjects with no history of previous malignancy only the person's age (<30 years), the presence of benign patterns of calcification (diffuse, peripheral, popcorn) and the presence of fat (hamartoma, lipoid pneumonia) allow reliable exclusion of malignancy.
However, in several studies, lymphomas seem to have a benign vascular pattern [ 19, 20].
CEUS can also confirm the presence of abdominal lymph nodes enlargement with homogeneous enhancement, suggesting a benign inflammatory pattern [ 68].
The reports were in these cases ambiguous, reporting 'not measurable because of scattered enhancement' or 'not measurable tumour with benign enhancement pattern'.
The images dissolve up close: not into the benign glowing patterns that Monet would achieve or the brilliantly colored regimentation of van Gogh, and not into the stroke-by-stroke doggedness of Cézanne, perhaps the greatest student of Courbet's work, but into something roiled and wild, like nature itself, only in molecular form.
