Objective: To perform a semiautomated software-based comparison of invasive breast carcinoma dynamic enhancement patterns in MR mammography with histological prognostic factors considering whole lesion volumes.
Material And Methods: A total of 128 patients with 145 invasive breast carcinomas underwent dynamic MR mammography. Kinetic features from the invasive breast lesions were obtained using commercially available software to automatically assess volume enhancement characteristics of a manually chosen lesion.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates different methods for measuring contrast enhancement in magnetic resonance mammography (MRM) to improve differential diagnosis.
- A total of 329 patients were analyzed, comparing visual estimation, manual region of interest (ROI), and computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) for their effectiveness in assessing breast lesions.
- Results indicate that all three methods show comparable diagnostic accuracy, suggesting that the choice of method may not significantly impact the ability to differentiate between malignant and benign lesions.
