Purpose: To assess the diagnostic performance of radiomic analysis using high temporal resolution (HTR)-dynamic contrast enhancement (DCE) MR sequences compared to BI-RADS analysis to distinguish benign from malignant breast lesions.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from consecutive women who underwent breast MRI including HTR-DCE MR sequencing for abnormal enhancing lesions and who had subsequent pathological analysis at our tertiary center. Semi-quantitative enhancement parameters and textural features were extracted.
Purpose: To evaluate the agreement between automatic assessment software of breast density based on artificial intelligence (AI) and visual assessment by a senior and a junior radiologist, as well as the impact on the assessment of breast cancer risk (BCR) at 5 years.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively included 311 consecutive women (mean age, 55.6±8.
Study Question: Is an MRI classification of deep pelvic endometriosis (DE) able to correctly predict the risk of DE surgery.
Summary Answer: A new radiological classification, that we have called the deep pelvic endometriosis index (dPEI) classification, is accurate and reproducible to assess the extension of the disease in central and lateral compartments and well correlated with operating time, hospital stay duration and the risk of voiding dysfunction.
What Is Known Already: Few imaging classifications are currently available to predict the extent of DE to help preoperative assessment of surgical outcomes and provide the patient with objective information about the risk of surgical complications.
Fast breast MRI protocols have the same sensitivity as conventional protocols, but their specificity is variable and can be inadequate. An ultrafast sequence provides early enhancement of lesion characteristics that optimize the characterization of the fast protocol, increasing positive predictive values without increasing time. These new abbreviated protocols could constitute a viable screening tool both for women at high risk of breast cancer and for those at intermediate risk with high breast density.

Materials And Methods: 120 women (mean age = 55 years (28-88)) who underwent breast MRI between July 2016 and March 2017 and in whom a biopsy was performed (i.e.
