Utility of Diffusion Weighted MR in Differentiation between Benign and Malignant Breast Lesions
Amira Samy Mohammed Sadek Salem;
Abstract
Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor among women.
The purpose of all diagnostic modalities in breast cancer is early detection and proper diagnosis, which has its major impact on further management and prognosis.
X-ray mammography is still considered the first examination tool in diagnosis of breast disease world wide.
The overlap in the mammographic appearance of benign and malignant lesions as well as dense breast tissue especially in young patients necessitates the presence of problem solving complementary studies.
Ultrasound (US) has been established as a complementary tool for mammography because of long experience with its use, accessibility, relatively low cost and the opportunity it affords for real time guidance of aspiration or needle biopsy. However, its operator dependence nature remains its main limitation.
The sensitivity of breast MRI for the detection of cancer is the greatest of all imaging techniques and when the findings of conventional imaging are inconclusive (i.e. BI-RADS 0), MRI can be used as a problem-solving modality, it
