Abbreviated breast MRI images (IMAGE)
Caption
Abbreviated axial MRI images show a 6-mm irregular mass with an irregular margin (arrows) in the right upper inner quadrant with early rapid enhancement. The lesion was assessed as Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (or BI-RADS) category 4 (suspicious for cancer). The participant was recalled and underwent US-guided core-needle biopsy that showed invasive carcinoma of no special type. On the full-protocol sequences (not shown), the lesion was T2-weighted hypointense and showed diffusion restriction and washout kinetics in the delayed phase, characteristics that, although are all confirmative of the malignant nature of the lesion, offered no additional value for making the recall decision.
