Breast Cancer Imaging and Detection

Abstract

[...]malignant lesions with high water content such as mucinous carcinoma or triple-negative cancer with extensive necrosis might not be picked up by DWI-unenhanced MRI owing to the high apparent diffusion coefficient values within these lesions. The conventional hookwire localisation has been increasingly replaced by newer wireless localisation techniques such as radioactive seeds, magnetic seeds, radar reflectors, and radiofrequency identification tag localisers owing to their increased scheduling flexibility. Abbreviated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for breast cancer screening: rationale, concept, and transfer to clinical practice.
