Application of the Kaiser score on contrast-enhanced mammography in the differential diagnosis of breast lesions: comparison with breast magnetic resonance imaging.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Kaiser score (KS) as a clinical decision rule has been proven capable of enhancing the diagnostic efficiency for suspicious breast lesions and obviating unnecessary benign biopsies. However, the consistency of KS in contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM-KS) and KS on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI-KS) is still unclear. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the diagnostic efficacy and agreement of CEM-KS and MRI-KS for suspicious breast lesions.

Methods

This retrospective study included 207 patients from April 2019 to June 2022. The radiologists assigned a diagnostic category to all lesions using the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS). Subsequently, they were asked to assign a final diagnostic category for each lesion according to the KS. The d
