We would like to highlight several relevant points pertaining to the role of DWI sequences in both 1.5 and 3 T MRI in differentiating benign from malignant breast lesions, as well as the potential value of establishing an ADC cut-off value in the grading of invasive cancers. A study performed by Tan et al found statistically significant differences between benign and malignant breast lesions, for both b-values of 500 s/mm and 1000 s/mm (p < 0.010). The ADC cut-off values for benign and malignant lesions were determined to be 1.21 � 10�3 s/mm for a b-value of 500 s/mm and 1.22 � 10�3 s/mm for a b-value of 1000 s/mm, respectively. Another study by Partridge et al demonstrated that incorporating ADC values and the washout curve demonstrated statistically significant diagnostic results (p-value 1⁄4 0.008 at b-value of 1000) in the prediction of malignancy as opposed to the use of either of these techniques alone. The ADC value can also be a good discriminator between low and high-grade tumors in invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC), and hence a potential good predictor of response to chemotherapy. In a prospective study of 156 patients with IDC by Azzam et al the mean ADC values for grade I, grade II, and grade III IDC were 1.01 + 0.06 � 10� 3 s/mm, 0.74 + 0.12 � 10� 3 s/mm, and 0.70+ 0.09� 10� 3 s/mm, respectively. There was a significant difference between the mean ADC values of grade I and III tumors (p 1⁄4 0.001), as well as between grade I and II tumors (p 1⁄4 0.002). However, there was no significant difference between grade II and III tumors (p 1⁄4 0.979). We thank the authors for showing the potential value of utilizing ADC maps with specific cut-off values as an additional useful predictive marker for malignant breast lesions, as well as a potentially helpful tool for tumor grading.

There are many technical factors that must be considered in the shortened breast MRI protocols to cut down time of standard ones, including using optimal fat suppression, gadolinium-chelates intravascular contrast administrations for dynamic imaging with post processing subtractions and maximum intensity projections (MIP) high spatial and temporal resolution among others. Multiparametric breast MRI that includes both gadolinium-dependent, i.e., dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE-MRI) and gadolinium-free techniques, i.e., diffusion-weighted/diffusion-tensor magnetic resonance imaging (DWI/DTI) are shown by several investigators that can provide extremely high sensitivity and specificity for detection of breast cancer. This article provides an overview of the proven indications for breast MRI including breast cancer screening for higher than average risk, determining chemotherapy induced tumor response, detecting residual tumor after incomplete surgical excision, detecting occult cancer in patients presenting with axillary node metastasis, detecting residual tumor after incomplete breast cancer surgical excision, detecting cancer when results of conventional imaging are equivocal, as well patients suspicious of having breast implant rupture. Despite having the highest sensitivity for breast cancer detection, there are pitfalls, however, secondary to false positive and false negative contrast enhancement and contrast-free MRI techniques. Awareness of the strengths and limitations of different approaches to obtain state of the art MR images of the breast will facilitate the work-up of patients with suspicious breast lesions.</p>","PeriodicalId":444006,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Association of Radiologists journal = Journal l'Association canadienne des radiologistes","volume":" ","pages":"125-140"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2022-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39304518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
