Abstract:
OBJECTTo study the diagnosis of breast diseases and its clinical application value of mammography in combination with MRI.
METHODSThe 46 patients suspected of having breast tumors by mammography, received dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI scanning, and the image features of breast tumors were compared and analyzed.
RESULTSMRI was superior to mammography not only in revealing the location, the shape, the border, internal structure of the mass and its chest-wall invasion, but also in revealing the axillary lymph nodes and the internal mammary lymph nodes and the mammary plugger, and in determining the mass nature in displaying microcalcification.
CONCLUSIONMammography in combination with dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI can help to make an accurate diagnosis of breast diseases.
