The additional utility of ultrafast MRI on conventional DCE-MRI in evaluating pre-operative MRI of breast cancer patients

European Journal of Radiology Jan 25, 2020

Lee SJ, Ko KH, Jung HK, et al. - In order to find out if the additional use of ultrafast MRI can improve the diagnostic performance of conventional dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) in assessing MRI-detected lesions in breast cancer individuals, researchers conducted a retrospective study of 101 consecutive breast cancer individuals with 202 breast lesions (62 benign and 140 malignant) who underwent pre-operative DCE-MRI with ultrafast imaging (9 image sets with 6.5-second temporal resolution). The BI-RADS categories of breast lesions were examined by two reviewers using conventional DCE-MRI and evaluated the following parameters applying the ultrafast MRI: initial enhancement phase, maximum relative enhancement, slope, and maximum slope (slope max) on the kinetic curve. The specificity of conventional DCE-MRI can be improved by the additional use of ultrafast MRI when evaluating MRI-detected masses in breast cancer individuals.
