A risk prediction stratification for non-mass breast lesions, combining clinical characteristics and imaging features on ultrasound, mammography, and MRI.

Objectives: Given the inevitable trend of domestic imaging center mergers and the current lack of comprehensive imaging evaluation guidelines for non-mass breast lesions, we have developed a novel BI-RADS risk prediction and stratification system for non-mass breast lesions that integrates clinical characteristics with imaging features from ultrasound, mammography, and MRI, with the aim of assisting clinicians in interpreting imaging reports.

Methods: This study enrolled 350 patients with non-mass breast lesions (NMLs), randomly assigning them to a training set of 245 cases (70%) and a test set of 105 cases (30%). Radiologists conducted comprehensive evaluations of the lesions using ultrasound, mammography, and MRI.

Downgrade BI-RADS 4A Patients Using Nomogram Based on Breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Ultrasound, and Mammography.

Objectives: To downgrade BI-RADS 4A patients by constructing a nomogram using R software.

Materials And Methods: A total of 1,717 patients were retrospectively analyzed who underwent preoperative ultrasound, mammography, and magnetic resonance examinations in our hospital from August 2019 to September 2020, and a total of 458 patients of category BI-RADS 4A (mean age, 47 years; range 18-84 years; all women) were included. Multivariable logistic regression was used to screen out the independent influencing parameters that affect the benign and malignant tumors, and the nomogram was constructed by R language to downgrade BI-RADS 4A patients to eligible category.
