“…Early successes with diagnostic applications of breast MR imaging such as axillary adenopathy with unknown primary, defining extent of disease for presurgical planning, and evaluation of treatment response were reported in the latter part of the 1990s and early 2000s (94-102). Currently, MR imaging for preoperative evaluation of disease extent in newly diagnosed breast cancer is controversial because studies have not clearly shown benefits in terms of reoperation rate, disease recurrence, or survival (103)(104)(105). Monitoring of treatment response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy is an accepted indication for breast MR imaging, as studies have shown clinical utility for predicting recurrence-free survival and pathologic complete response (Fig 13) (103,(106)(107)(108)(109).…”

The practice of breast imaging has transitioned through a wide variety of technologic advances from the early days of direct-exposure film mammography to xeromammography to screen-film mammography to the current era of full-field digital mammography and digital breast tomosynthesis. Along with these technologic advances, organized screening, federal regulations based on the Mammography Quality Standards Act, and the development of the American College of Radiology Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System have helped to shape the specialty of breast imaging. With the development of breast ultrasonography and breast magnetic resonance imaging, both complementary to mammography, additional algorithms for diagnostic workup and screening high-risk subgroups of women have emerged. A substantial part of breast imaging practice these days also involves breast interventional procedures-both percutaneous biopsy to obtain tissue diagnosis and localization procedures to guide surgical excision. This article reviews the evolution of breast imaging starting from a historical perspective and progressing to the present day.

“…Because MRI has been reported to cause an unfavorable increase in mastectomy rates [22], the lack of improved patient outcomes makes it difficult to justify the use of routine preoperative staging MRI for all patients [27][28][29]. However, it is possible that certain subsets of patients with breast cancer may benefit from preoperative MRI [30], including those with ILC, very young patients, those with genetic mutations, patients with axillary nodal metastases but unknown primary lesion, or patients being considered for partial breast irradiation.…”

“…Breast MRI is an imaging modality used in complement to mammography and ultrasound for cancer diagnosis, staging, and gaining additional knowledge about the tumor biology (Brasic, Wisner, & Joe, 2013; Knuttel, Menezes, van den Bosch, Gilhuijs, & Peters, 2014; Sardanelli et al, 2004; Saslow et al, 2007). MR imaging of breasts also finds usage in screening in high risk patients (C.…”

Purpose To assess the impact of varying magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner parameters on the extraction of algorithmic features in breast MRI radiomics studies. Methods In this retrospective study, breast imaging data for 272 patients were analyzed with magnetic resonance (MR) images. From the MR images, we assembled and implemented 529 algorithmic features of breast tumors and fibrograndular tissue (FGT). We divided the features into 10 groups based on the type of data used for the feature extraction and the nature of the extracted information. Three scanner parameters were considered: scanner manufacturer, scanner magnetic field strength, and slice thickness. We assessed the impact of each of the scanner parameters on each of the feature by testing whether the feature values are systematically diverse for different values of these scanner parameters. A two-sample t-test has been used to establish whether the impact of a scanner parameter on values of a feature is significant and receiver operating characteristics have been used for to establish the extent of that effect. Results On average, higher proportion (69% FGT versus 20% tumor) of FGT related features were affected by the three scanner parameters. Of all feature groups and scanner parameters, the feature group related to the variation in FGT enhancement was found to be the most sensitive to the scanner manufacturer (AUC = 0.81 ± 0.14). Conclusions Features involving calculations from FGT are particularly sensitive to the scanner parameters.
