Article Synopsis
- The study compared the diagnostic performance of three imaging methods—dynamic enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI), digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), and digital mammography (DM)—for early breast cancer detection.
- DCE-MRI showed the highest area under the ROC curve (0.910) and sensitivity (92.3%), significantly outperforming DM (AUC of 0.700, sensitivity of 52.5%).
- The findings suggest that if DCE-MRI is not available, healthcare facilities can rely on DBT as a more effective alternative to enhance early breast cancer detection compared to DM.

Objective: To evaluate the value of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) in diagnosis of dense breast lesions.
Methods: Clinical and pathological data of 163 patients (58 benign lesions, 122 malignant lesions, and 180 lesions in total) with breast lesions undergoing surgical treatment in Shaoxing Central Hospital from January 2017 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. The lesions were classified into non-homogeneous dense gland type and extremely dense gland type according to BI-RADS creterion.

The development and metastasis of uterine tumors depend highly on tumor angiogenesis. Multiphase dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging can quantitatively describe the hemodynamic changes of uterine tumors based on a variety of tracer kinetic models and time-signal curves and by simulating the distribution of contrast inside and outside the blood vessels. Functional parameters can accurately and noninvasively assess tumor angiogenesis.
