Abstract

Dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) breast magnetic resonance imaging is the most accurate method for evaluating breast cancer. The common clinical indications for breast magnetic resonance imaging include preoperative breast cancer staging, screening for high-risk patients, assessment of BC response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, differentiation between scar and recurrence, evaluation of breast implants, assessment of patients with cancer of unknown primary. DCE-MR imaging provides two primary imaging features that can be used to evaluate breast lesions: morphology and kinetic enhancement features.
