ABSTRACT
Objective To study and evaluate the MRI findings and their diagnostic value for breast carcinoma.Methods Preoperative contrast-enhanced MR imaging and mammography were performed in 12 patients who underwent surgery and were histopathologically proved with breast carcinoma.MR imaging findings were compared with clearly mammography.Results Twenty-one breast lesions in 12 cases were detected with MR imaging.Seventeen of the twenty-one lesions were detected with mammography.Contrast-enhanced MR imaging was superior to mammography to demonstrate lesions in these dense breasts.It could clearly indicate the extension of posterior breast carcinoma into the pectoralis major muscle and the metastases of parasternal lymphatic node,while it was difficult to evaluate with mammography.The "rim enhancement sign" might be valuable to diagnose breast carcinoma.Conclusion The sensitivity and accuracy of MR imaging is superior to that of mammography.Contrast-enhanced imaging of the breast is helpful not only in early diagnosis of breast carcinoma but also in staging breast carcinoma and planning therapy.
