Excerpt
We read with interest the article by Vural et al. [
1]. In their paper they refer to an own case report regarding imaging artefacts after supra paramagnetic nanoparticles of iron oxide (SPIO) [
2]. In Uppsala, Sweden, we have used SPIO for sentinel node detection as our routine method since 2015 [
3], often injected before tumour localisation with guidewire or MagSeed and the localisation is confirmed by a mammogram [
4]. Interestingly, we have never encountered SPIO-related artifacts on follow-up mammograms, like those described by the authors. If mammography is done immediately after the injection of SPIO, fluid in the glandular tissue may be seen, but this is not SPIO specific. …
