MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is a technology that uses magnets and radio waves to create detailed, 3D images of the breast tissue. Before the test you may be injected with a contrast solution (dye) through an intravenous line in the arm. The contrast solution will allow potential cancerou...
Objective : Contrast-enhanced MRI of the breast has been one of the most controversial areas of MRI. Even though most investigators have, in selected indications, been able to improve accuracy by the additional use of contrast-enhanced MRI, its abuse has been feared not only because of increase...
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)...
For screening, the appearances of the lesions on DW-MRI have to be known. Introduction Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW- MRI) is a non-contrast procedure, measuring the motion of water particles in vivo and analyzing microscopic tissue structure: cellularity, membrane integrity, vis...
Women with dense breasts often undergo conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) despite its limited specificity, which may be increased by diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) with apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and contrast. How these modalities are affected by breast density per se and their...
Multiple studies in the first decade of the 21st century have established contrast-enhanced breast MRI as a screening modality for women with a hereditary or familial increased risk for the developm...
Contrast-enhanced MR imaging in patients with BI-RADS 3-5 microcalcifications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with microcalcifications classed as Breast Imaging Reporting... A Cilotti,C Iacconi,C Marini,... - 《La Radiologia ...
Diagnostic Performance of MRI, Molecular Breast Imaging, and Contrast-enhanced Mammography in Women with Newly Diagnosed Breast Cancer Background Staging newly diagnosed breast cancer by using dynamic contrast material-enhanced MRI is limited by access, high cost, and false-positive findings. The utility...
Breast MRI is performed to get a detailed imaging of the organ, soft tissues, bone and complete internal structure. It is used in conjunction with mammography and breast ultrasound for clearer imaging.
