American College of Radiologyâcompliant short protocol breast MRI for high-risk breast cancer screening: A prospective feasibility study
American Journal of Roentgenology Nov 09, 2017
Dogan BE, et al. - In this prospective feasibility study, the researchers evaluate the feasibility of a short protocol for screening breast MRI that is noninferior to standard-of-care (SOC) MRI in image quality that complies with American College of Radiology accreditation requirements. With less than 10-minute acquisition time, short-protocol breast MRI comprising a T2-weighted sequence and a fast dynamic sequence is feasible and has image quality at least equivalent to that of a SOC MRI protocol with a > 20-minute mean acquisition time. To determine whether short-protocol breast MRI can replace SOC MRI to screen patients at high breast cancer risk, larger studies comparing the cancer detection rate, sensitivity, and specificity of each imaging protocol are needed.
