Accuracy of cone-beam breast computed tomography for assessing breast cancer tumor size-comparison with breast magnetic resonance imaging.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Accurate preoperative assessment of tumor size is important in developing a surgical plan for breast cancer. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of cone-beam breast computed tomography (CBBCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the assessment of tumor size and to analyze the factors influencing the discordance.

Methods

In this retrospective study, patients with breast cancer who underwent preoperative contrast-enhanced CBBCT (CE-CBBCT) and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) and received a complete pathologic diagnosis from August 2020 to December 2021 were included, using the pathological result as the gold standard. Two radiologists assessed the CBBCT and MRI features and measured the tumor size with a 2-week washout period. Intraclas
