Abstract:
Objective To explore the value of MR dynamic contrast-enhancement in diagnosis and differential diagnosis of infiltrating ductal carcinoma of breast at 3.0T MR magneton.Methods 17 cases of breast infiltrating ductal carcinoma underwent plain MRI and MR dynamic contrast-enhanced scan using 3.0T MR scanners with dedicated breast coil.All cases were confirmed by surgery and pathology.MRI signal intensity,morphology and hemodynamic characteristics of lesions were analysed.Results 17 breast infiltrating ductal carcinomas in 17 cases all appeared as masses,low(8/17)or equal(9/17)signal intensity on T_1WI,high(14/17)or equal(3/17)signal intensity on T_2WI.On morphology,the lesions were irregular and lobulated in shape(82.4%,14/17);undefinite margins(12/17)or non-smooth margins(15/17),glitch sign or astral sign(7/17);the lesions showed non-uniform marked enhancement(10/17)or ring enhancement(5/17)after intravenous administration of contrast agent.82.4%(14/17)of the lesions,the blood vessels could be seen gathering around the lesions on the maximum intensity projection(MIP)image.On hemodynamics,the early enhanced ratio for all cases was over 90%;88.2%(15/17)of the lesions,peak enhancement was less than three minutes;the time-signal intensity curve of the lesions appeared as type Ⅱ was 35.3%(6/17)and type Ⅲ was 58.8%(10/17)mostly.Conclusion Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI manifestations of breast infiltrating ductal carcinoma are of certain characteristics,which may contribute to the diagnosis and differential diagnosis.
