The comparison of high-resolution diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) with high-resolution contrast-enhanced MRI in the evaluation of breast cancers

摘要

Purpose: We sought to investigate the performance of high resolution (HR) diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) using readout-segmented echo-planar imaging (rs-EPI), compared with high-resolution contrast-enhanced MRI (HR CE-MRI) in terms of morphological accuracy, on the basis of the Breast Imaging and Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) MRI descriptors and lesion size.
