The classification of exclusively MR imaging-detectable breast lesions according to a combination of morphologic and perfusion parameters including the late enhancement pattern helps identify the lesions for which interventional MR imaging is required. Quantitative signal intensity data alone do not suffice.
Exact MRI-guided preoperative localization of exclusively MRI-detected breast lesions by using a modified embolization coil is feasible with excellent precision. Advantages over wire localization procedures are the possibility of specimen x-ray and the independence from time and place of operation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
