Dynamic Contrast enhanced MR Imaging of breast lumps: Correlating morphology & kinetic curves with histopathology.
Journal Title: IJSR-International Journal Of Scientific Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 7
Abstract
Background: The diagnostic study was undertaken to evaluate the role of dynamic contrast enhanced MRI(DCMR) in the evaluation of breast lumps based on the morphological and kinetic characteristics. Material and Methods: A study was done taking 70 patients of breast lump, who were found to have a BIRADS III or higher lesion on X-ray mammography. A DCMR was performed on these patients and histopthological correlation was done. Results: DCMR was 100 % sensitive with a specificity of 76.19% in the diagnosis of malignancy. The negative predictive value was 100% and the positive predictive value was 90.74%. Conclusion: We recommend that DCMR of the breast, being an excellent complimentary examination in the evaluation breast lumps be carried out prior to biopsy in BIRADS 3, 4 and 5 cases. Both morphology and kinetics need to be carefully analysed and importance given to the most ominous characteristic.
