The morphological features of dynamic contrast enhanced MR in non lactation mastitis / 实用放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To assess the value of the dynamic enhanced MR (DE-MRI)morphological features in diagnosis of non lac-tation mastitis.Methods We retrospectively studied the breast DE-MRI image data of 1 5 patients with non lactation mastitis con-firmed by pathology were retrospectively studies and the lesion morphological features and distribution were analyzed.Results Amonge 1 5 patients with non lactation mastitis,6 cases were the plasma cell mastitis,5 cases were granulomatous mastitis,2 cases were abscess,and 2 cases were cyst associated with inflammation.The typical features of non lactation mastitis on DE-MRI were fast wash-in,centrifugal enhancement sign,blur boundaries between lesions and normal breast tissue,increasing unilateral vessel sign in diseased breast.Conclusion Breast DE-MRI can show typical morphological features of non lactation mastitis.When dynam-ic information is obtained inconveniently,these are helpful in diagnosing and differential diagnosing non lactation mastitis.
