“…Dynamic MR imaging is increasingly used in addition to conventional mammography and high frequency ultrasonography to improve the timely diagnosis of primary and recurrent breast cancer (12,15,(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29). While the high sensitivity of dynamic MR imaging is well established, its specificity remains an issue of debate.…”

Increased spatial resolution significantly improves diagnostic confidence and accuracy at dynamic MR imaging, even if this improvement occurs at the expense of temporal resolution. Loss of kinetic information regarding enhancement rates proved to be not diagnostically relevant because enhancement rates showed broad overlap between benign and malignant lesions and were therefore of only limited diagnostic use in the individual patient. Kinetic information regarding time course pattern was preserved and confirmed as having high specificity and high positive predictive value.

“…The degree to which the sensitivities of mammography and breast MR imaging differ in the same patients depends on the mammographic breast density and the type of breast cancer: The difference increases with increasing breast density and for cancers that are difficult to diagnose on the basis of mammographic findings. The latter is the case, for example, in cancers with a diffuse growth pattern, such as invasive lobular cancers (67)(68)(69)(70)(71), and in cancers that exhibit benign morphologic features, such as medullary cancer (61). The sensitivity of breast MR imaging is not impaired by the amount or density of the fibroglandular tissue nor by scar tissue (eg, after tumorectomy), radiation therapy, or prosthetic breast implants or other types of breast reconstruction.…”

The Current Status of Breast MR Imaging Part I. Choice of Technique, Image Interpretation, Diagnostic Accuracy, and Transfer to Clinical Practice

Compared with mammography and breast ultrasonography, contrast material-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is a breast imaging technique that offers not only information on lesion cross-sectional morphology but also on functional lesion features such as tissue perfusion and enhancement kinetics. After an enthusiastic start to clinical breast MR imaging in the early 1990s, a variety of difficulties and obstacles were identified that hampered the transfer of the modality into clinical practice, including a lack of standardization regarding image acquisition and interpretation guidelines, a lack of MR-compatible interventional materials, and a lack of evidence regarding its diagnostic accuracy--particularly specificity and positive predictive value, as well as sensitivity for ductal carcinoma in situ. This article is the first of two on the current status of breast MR imaging. The pathophysiologic basis of breast MR and the effects on acquisition technique and diagnostic accuracy, the diverging demands of high spatial and temporal resolution, and the different approaches that exist for image acquisition are reviewed. Advantages and disadvantages of different pulse sequence parameters are discussed to help radiologists make a balanced and informed decision regarding choice of image acquisition protocol. Imaging findings in common benign and malignant changes are described, and current concepts for differential diagnosis, including the MR Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System lexicon, are discussed. Furthermore, obstacles that impeded the technique's transfer into clinical practice are discussed, and the progress made in recent years, especially regarding the development of guidelines, procedural standardization, and MR-guided interventions are outlined.

“…I t has become increasingly clear that magnetic resonance (MR) imaging should be ideally suited for preoperative staging of the ipsilateral and contralateral breast in patients with Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) category 5 and 6 lesions or for screening in women who are at increased risk for breast cancer (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15). All these applications, however, require that a technique be used that offers not only a high sensitivity but also a high specificity.…”
