MR imaging of the breast: comparison with mammography and ultrasound

S H Heywang et al. J Comput Assist Tomogr. 1986 Jul-Aug.

Abstract

Fifty-seven biopsy proven breast masses have been examined at our institution by magnetic resonance (MR), mammography, and ultrasound. The three techniques have been evaluated concerning their capability to visualize the lesion and the diagnostic information obtained. Magnetic resonance proved comparable to mammography and superior to sonography in the fatty to medium dysplastic breasts but inferior to the combined examination by mammography and sonography in the dense breasts. In some selected cases, however, special advantages of MR have been found.
