Increased background parenchymal enhancement on peri-menopausal breast magnetic resonance imaging.

Objectives: To examine the background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) levels in peri-menopausal breast MRI compared with pre- and post-menopausal breast MRI.

Methods: This study included 562 patients (55.8±12.

Diagnostic performance of the Kaiser score for characterizing lesions on breast MRI with comparison to a multiparametric classification system.

Purpose: To determine the diagnostic performance of the Kaiser score and to compare it with the BI-RADS-based multiparametric classification system (MCS).

Method: Two breast radiologists, blinded to the clinical and pathological information, separately evaluated a database of 499 consecutive patients with structural 3.0 T breast MRI and 697 histopathologically verified lesions.

Galactography is not an obsolete investigation in the evaluation of pathological nipple discharge.

Purpose: To evaluate the malignancy rate and diagnostic performance of galactography in patients with pathological nipple discharge (PND) after negative clinical breast examination, mammography and ultrasound.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively evaluated all galactograms obtained between January 2006 and December 2014 in women with PND. Galactographic findings were classified into 6 groups according to a modified Galactogram Image Classification system (GICS) to comply with the breast imaging reporting and data system classification.
