Characterization of Suspicious Breast Lesions with Dynamic Contrast enhanced MRI In comparison to Conventional mammography and Ultrasonography

Abstract: This study included thirty three patients with suspicious breast lesions. For every patient; Mammography, Ultrasonography and Dynamic MRI were done.Our results indicate that the sensitivity of breast imaging can be increased by complementary use of MRI. For patients in whom the status of breast lesion remains unclear, MRI, though most expensive among all other complementary diagnostic modalities, it reduces the number of unnecessary biopsies and diagnostic challenges. Keywords: Mammography; Breast ultrasound; … Show more

“…The kinetic curve of breast MRI showed a persistent increase in the intensity of the enhancement (type 1)However, morphologically both ultrasound and mammography also support the diagnosis in the feature of malignant lesions. Although in this case the kinetic curve indicated the possibility of benign lesions, in the general margin and shape analysis (morphologically) are the most predictive features in the interpretation of MRI images 9. MRI examination showed indistinct lesions and mammography also showed spiculated margins.…”

“…reaching 91%. 9 The kinetic curve pattern itself cannot be relied upon as a diagnostic determinant, seen in the case of DCIS only about 70% of cases showed enhancement in the initial phase with variable delayed phase enhancement. 11 DCE feature on MRI is more accurate than mammography or ultrasound in identifying the extent of disease but has limitations in distinguishing between malignant and benign lesions.…”

“…Our study was conducted in accordance with (56), where the generalization abilities of radiomic models in multi-centric MRI datasets have been recently addressed. It is worth noting that the use of breast lesion classification based on the ACR BI-RADS lexicon also facilitated the sample standardization of the enrolled cases (8).…”

“…Among imaging techniques, Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DCE-MRI) provides both morphological (eg, size, margins, shape) (7) and hemodynamic information, assessing tumor vascularity and defining enhancement kinetic curves, with a reported sensitivity higher than 90% for breast cancer diagnosis (8). However, the specificity of DCE-MRI is still substantially low (about 72%) and it is often necessary to continue the diagnostic work-up with a biopsy (8).…”
