As the proportion of women diagnosed with invasive breast cancer increases, the role of imaging for staging and surveillance purposes should be determined based on evidence-based guidelines.

- The use of digital breast tomosynthesis has led to better detection of radial scars, creating challenges in clinical management.
- The study aimed to assess the value of breast contrast-enhanced MRI (CE-BMR) in evaluating radial scars found on mammograms through a systematic review and meta-analysis.
- Results from three studies showed that CE-BMR had a 100% negative predictive value, suggesting that if CE-BMR is negative, a biopsy may not be necessary, and a follow-up imaging could be sufficient.
