Differentiation of breast tuberculosis and breast cancer using diffusion-weighted, T2-weighted and dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging
Abstract:BackgroundThe use of multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the evaluation of breast tuberculosis (BTB).ObjectivesTo evaluate the value of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), T2-weighted (T2W) and dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) in differentiating breast cancer (BCA) from BTB.MethodWe retrospectively studied images of 17 patients with BCA who had undergone pre-operative MRI and 6 patients with pathologically proven BTB who underwent DCE-MRI during January 2014 to Janu… Show more
