Impact on the recall rate of digital breast tomosynthesis as an adjunct to digital mammography in the screening setting. A double reading experience and review of the literature.

Objectives: To estimate the impact on recall rate (RR) of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) associated with digital mammography (DM+DBT), compared to DM alone, evaluate the impact of double reading (DR) and review the literature.

Methods: Ethics committees approved this multicenter study. Patients gave informed consent.

Breast cancer detection using double reading of unenhanced MRI including T1-weighted, T2-weighted STIR, and diffusion-weighted imaging: a proof of concept study.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the diagnostic performance of unenhanced MRI in detecting breast cancer and to assess the impact of double reading.

Materials And Methods: A total of 116 breasts of 67 women who were 36-89 years old were studied at 1.5 T using an unenhanced protocol including axial T1-weighted gradient-echo, T2-weighted STIR, and echo-planar diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI).

Contrast enhanced breast MRI: spatial displacement from prone to supine patient's position. Preliminary results.

Objective: To estimate the spatial displacement of breast lesions and nipples in MR images when the patient is moved from the standard prone to a supine position close to ultrasound (US) or surgical setting.

Materials And Methods: Eleven patients underwent breast MRI in prone position with dynamic 3D T1-weighted sequences using 0.1 mmol/kg gadobenate dimeglumine.

Breast MRI using a high-relaxivity contrast agent: an overview.

Objective: The purpose of this article is to review the use of gadobenate dimeglumine, a high-relaxivity gadolinium-based contrast material, for breast MRI.

Conclusion: Thanks to its high relaxivity, gadobenate dimeglumine offers valuable advantages in terms of lesion conspicuity, detection rate, and sensitivity for malignant breast lesions. However, a higher enhancement of benign lesions should be taken into account to avoid reduced specificity.

Handling a high relaxivity contrast material for dynamic breast MR imaging using higher thresholds for the initial enhancement.

Objectives: To increase specificity of gadobenate dimeglumine-enhanced breast magnetic resonance (MR) imaging without losing sensitivity.

Materials And Methods: IRB approval was obtained for this retrospective study and informed consent was waived. Sixty-eight patients with 73 breast lesions underwent dynamic breast 1.
