From: Can the abbreviated MRI protocol replace the standard full protocol in the detection and characterization of breast non-mass enhancement?

Thirty-four-years-old woman referred with pathologically proved right breast multifocal IDC (preoperative assessment indication). Precontrast T1WI (a) showed two hypointense spiculated mass lesions at the UOQ. b First post-contrast subtraction showed rapid intense enhancement of the previously described mass lesions with adjacent heterogeneous segmental non-mass enhancement; all these findings are detected in 1st MIP. Adjacent non-mass enhancement showed restricted signal in DWI (b-value 800 s/mm2), (d) with ADC values = 0.77 and 0.86 × 10−3 mm2/s, (e) left intramammary L.N is noted. Multicentricity was interpreted. After these concluded findings the surgical plan was modified from right conservative breast surgery (CBS) to modified radical mastectomy (MRM)
