Table 9.

Time of ipsilateral lesion sampling relative to PEM and MR imaging

Time of lesion sampling Number of ipsilateral lesions (%) Number of additional ipsilateral lesions (%)
Before PEM & MRI 24 (83.0) 5 (17.0)
After PEM & MRI 34 (89.0) 4 (11.0)
After MRI before PEM 5 (71.0) 2 (29.0)
Total 63 (85.0) 11 (15.0)

74 ipsilateral lesions were identified in 63 patients. Of these 7 lesions were biopsied between PEM and MRI imaging and therefore excluded from final analysis. A total of 67 ipsilateral lesions in 58 patients were included in the ipsilateral lesions analysis.
