Population-based breast cancer screening using mammography as the gold standard imaging modality has been in clinical practice for over 40 years. However, the limitations of mammography in terms of sensitivity and high false-positive rates, particularly in high-risk women, challenge the indiscriminate nature of population-based screening. Additionally, in light of expanding research on new breast cancer risk factors, there is a growing consensus that breast cancer screening should move toward a risk-adapted approach.

Methods: Dynamic Contrast Enhanced (DCE) and Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) of 73 female patients, with 85 histologically verified breast lesions were acquired. Non-rigid multi-resolution registration was utilized to spatially align sequences.
