Non-mass enhancement breast lesions: MRI findings and associations with malignancy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a multi-sequence imaging technique. Although MRI is the most sensitive method for detecting breast cancer, it is limited in evaluating the malignant possibility of non-mass enhanced (NME) breast lesions. It is also rarely reported whether MRI can further indicate the invasion of the lesions. In this article, we explore the differentiation of MRI characteristics between benign and malignant NME lesions and determine which features are associated with invasion.

Methods

The MRI findings of 118 NME lesions were evaluated retrospectively to explore the characteristics of the benign and malignant NME lesions in different MRI sequences including dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). The difference of
