However, data regarding the differentiation of breast cancer (BC) receptor statuses using RS-EPI are limited.<h4>Purpose</h4>To determine whether RS-EPI improves the differentiation of receptor statuses compared with conventional single-shot (SS) EPI in breast MRI.<h4>Study type</h4>Retrospective.<h4>Population</h4>A total of 151 BC women with the mean age of 50.6 years.<h4>Field strength/sequence</h4>A 3 T/ RS-EPI and SS-EPI.<h4>Assessment</h4>The ADCs of the lesion and normal background tissue from the two sequences were collected by two Journal of magnetic resonance imaging : JMRI691-699https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9542110biostudies-literatureReadout-Segmented Echo-Planar Diffusion-Weighted MR Imaging Improves the Differentiation of Breast Cancer Receptor Statuses Compared With Conventional Diffusion-Weighted Imaging.PMC9542110Wang MYang ZFan WChen XHuang RDai ZZhong MfalseReadout-Segmented Echo-Planar Diffusion-Weighted MR Imaging Improves the Differentiation of Breast Cancer Receptor Statuses Compared With Conventional Diffusion-Weighted Imaging.<h4>Background</h4>Readout-segmented echo-planar diffusion-weighted imaging (RS-EPI) can improve image quality and signal-to-noise ratio, the resulting apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value acts as a more sensitive biomarker to characterize tumors.
