Welcome!

Hello, Amircha, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

You can find answers to many student questions on our Q&A site, ask.wikiedu.org

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:12, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

Work plan

Hi. I noticed that you added your work plan to the breast imaging article's talk page. I think a better place for this is your sandbox, so I moved it there - User:Amircha/sandbox. I also removed your real name - it's better for privacy reasons to stick to just using your user name.

Incidentally, you were not logged in when you made the edit, so the Dashboard can't track your work. It's important to be logged in to Wikipedia when you're editing. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:14, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

Breast imaging

Hi. Some of the content your added to the breast imaging article appears to have constituted close paraphrasing of your source, enough so that it triggered a plagiarism checker, and had to be removed. You can't just change some of the words - if you retain the sentence structure and a lot of the wording, it still counts. Please read the page I linked to - it's very helpful in sorting out what's really a pretty complex issue. Thanks. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:36, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi Ian,

I understand and wasn't sure about this but also wasn't sure how to reword such a technical principal and just because the source happened to have a lot of great info plus some of it was mixed with research I found on pub med. In any case, maybe I'll just decide to make a much more succinct summary of this. I I will review the guidelines. Please let me know if It still ends up being an issue after the revised version. Thank you. Amircha (talk) 16:41, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi Ian,

I am planning I am posting this revised paragraph which I have tried to make more original by using multiple sources and also changing the words, sentence structure, and some of the content. If this still seems unacceptable please let me know otherwise I will likely publish by later today. Thanks for all your help: (this is without citations)

Ultrasound can be considered either a diagnostic or screening procedure. It may be used with or without mammogram.

Diagnostic anatomic ultrasound looks at the anatomy whereas diagnostic functional ultrasound records information such as blood flow or tissue characteristics. A specific functional form of ultrasound is elastography which measures and displays the relative elasticity of tissues, which can be used to differentiate tumors from healthy tissue. Recent studies have shown that shear wave elastography in primary invasive breast carcinoma could be useful for indicating axillary lymphadenopathy.[33] (32269923)

Ultrasound also has operative utility. Specifically, an ultrasound-guided needle biopsy allows providers to see the needle so it can be directed toward the target (ex: a breast tumor) while avoiding other critical structures (ex: vasculature). Through this use of ultrasound, it has also shown to decrease re-excision and mastectomy rates in breast cancer. A recent study found 100% ultrasound localization with negative margins obtained in non-palpable and palpable lesions at initial procedure. In line with this, intraoperative guided breast conserving surgery is being increasingly used by breast surgeons worldwide.

Therapeutic ultrasound, conversely, is not used to produce images. It uses ultrasound beams to destroy tumor or diseased tissues, increase local blood flow, or breakdown scar tissue.
