Purpose The aim of this study was to estimate the cost effectiveness of breast cancer screening with contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with and without adjunctive x-ray mammography (XM), compared with XM alone in high-risk women. Materials and Methods A model was developed to...
The role of contrast-enhanced high resolution MRI for planning surgery in breast cancer was evaluated. Of 72 patients examined, 57 patients had invasive ductal carcinoma, 2 had mucinous carcinoma, 1 had medullary carcinoma, 7 had invasive lobular carcinoma, 2 had ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS)...

Objective To investigate the alteration of dynamic enhancement of breast cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NCT) by dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging(DCE-MRI).Methods 12 patients with pathologically confirmed breast carcinoma had DCE-MRI examination before and after NCT.DCE-MRI was performed on a...
PURPOSE: To retrospectively compare the MRI findings of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and contrast-enhanced imaging (CEI) of breast lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From June 2005 to June 2007, 159 patients with 159 biopsy-proven breast lesions underwent breast MRIs including DWI and CEI. Two ...
Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic advantages of high in-plane resolution contrast-enhanced (CE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the breast in comparison to standard CE-MRI. Methods: Forty-one patients with 51 hypervascularized lesions were selected prospectively after undergoing bilateral standar...
To correlate the enhancement parameters of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) with prognostic factors and immunohistochemical subtypes of breast cancer. Material and Methods A total of 81 breast carcinomas were included in our study. We obtained the following enhancement parame...
IntroductionDynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) MRI is being increasingly used to characterize abnormalities of the breast. Features of the contrast uptake and washout demonstrate high negative predictive value for identifying and characterizing breast lesions. We performed compartment modeling using the Tofts' ...
