Core Tip
Core Tip: Lesions of breast imaging reporting and data system (BI-RADS) at mammography only appeared a wide range of risk of being malignant (2%-96%). The specificity of magnetic resonance imaging in detecting breast is relatively low. This study aimed to evaluate the value of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and perfusion-weighted imaging (PWI) in diagnosing BI-RADS 4 breast lesions. The diagnostic efficacy of DWI and PWI were analyzed respectively and jointly. The results suggested DWI, combined with PWI, might possibly help distinguish benign breast lesions from malignant ones and provide clear diagnostic results for patients with potentially malignant BI-RADS 4 lesions at mammography.
