Article Synopsis
  • Breast vascularity is vital for understanding breast cancer development and treatment, as it provides insights into pathological and physiological changes in breast tissue.
  • * Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) is a key tool for assessing breast vascularity, using contrast agents to visualize blood flow and differentiate between benign and malignant lesions.
  • *DCE-MRI offers high diagnostic accuracy and is useful for monitoring treatment response, but challenges like cost and overlapping enhancement patterns need to be addressed, alongside future advancements in imaging technology.*
