Abstract In this chapter, we review the imaging characteristics of invasive breast cancer, focusing primarily on their various morphologic and kinetic findings on MRI. Additionally, we discuss the heterogeneous nature…
Gillian M. Newstead Abstract The goal of MRI is to establish the size and extent of the known index malignancy, to identify additional sites of malignancy and to improve surgical…
Milica Medved Abstract In women at high risk for development or recurrence of breast cancer, annual MRI screening is recommended. The current screening protocol relies heavily on information obtained from…
Maryellen L. Giger Abstract Effective cancer diagnosis and treatment rely on the integration of information from multiple patient tests involving clinical, molecular, imaging, and genomic data. Adapting the Precision Medicine…
Gregory S. Karczmar and Federico D. Pineda Routine clinical interpretation of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) by radiologists is based on subjective assessment of signal enhancement and the change…
Abstract The focus of this chapter is to review the imaging characteristics of non-invasive cancer (ductal carcinoma in situ [DCIS]) and the MRI appearance of this lesion which often presents…
Hiroyuki Abe Abstract When abnormal findings are detected on breast MRI studies, the next step is to differentiate between probably benign lesions that do not need tissue sampling and suspicious…
Gillian M Newstead and Michael S. Middleton Abstract This chapter outlines a standard method for interpretation and reporting of diagnostic MRI examinations and discusses the management of patients with challenging…
Gillian Newstead Abstract Implementation of an abbreviated (AB-MR) technique as a method for breast screening for women at moderate (15-20%) risk and/or mammographically dense breasts is an innovative and challenging…
Gillian Newstead Abstract This chapter outlines a practical approach for achieving a standard, high-quality breast MRI examination. Excellent image resolution is a prerequisite for accurate diagnosis. Key components of a…
