Description
Summary:To evaluate the effectiveness of an ultrafast breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocol in differentiating benign and malignant breast lesions. Fifty-four patients with Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) 4 or 5 lesions were recruited between July 2020 to May 2021. A standard breast MRI was performed with the inclusion of the ultrafast protocol between the unenhanced sequence and the first contrast-enhanced sequence. Three radiologists performed image interpretation in consensus. Ultrafast kinetic parameters analysed included the maximum slope (MS), time to enhancement (TTE), and arteriovenous index (AVI). These parameters were compared using receiver operating characteristics with p-values of
