Diagnostic accuracy of mri textural analysis in the classification of breast tumors
Clinical Imaging Mar 02, 2021
Brown AL, Jeong J, Wahab RA, et al. - Researchers conducted this retrospective study to examine whether textural analysis (TA) of MRI heterogeneity may play a role in the clinical assessment and classification of breast tumors. Patients with breast masses ≥ 1 cm on contrast-enhanced MRI were obtained in 69 women (mean age: 51 years; range 21–78 years) with 77 masses (38 benign, 39 malignant) between 2006 and 2018. Findings suggested that TA of breast masses has the ability to assist radiologists in classifying tumors as benign or malignant on MRI. The best predictability can be given by measurements of entropy, kurtosis, and entropy combined with sigma.
