RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To assess whether no enhancement on pre-treatment MRI can rule out malignancy of additional US mass(es) initially assessed as BI-RADS 3 or 4 in women with newly diagnosed breast cancer. METHODS: This retrospective study included consecutive women from 2010-2018 with newly diagnosed breast cancer; at least one additional breast mass (distinct from index cancer) assigned a BI-RADS 3 or 4 on US; and a bilateral contrast-enhanced breast MRI performed within 90 days of US. All malignant masses were pathologically proven; benign masses were pathologically proven or defined as showing at least 2 years of imaging stability. Incidence of malignant masses and NPV were calculated on a per-patient level using proportions and exact 95% CIs. RESULTS: In 230 patients with 309 additional masses, 140/309 (45%) masses did not enhance while 169/309 (55%) enhanced on MRI. Of the 140 masses seen in 105 women (mean age, 54 years; range 28-82) with no enhancement on MRI, all had adequate follow-up and 140/140 (100%) were benign, of which 89/140 (63.6%) were pathologically proven and 51/140 (36.4%) demonstrated at least 2 years of imaging stability. Pre-treatment MRI demonstrating no enhancement of US mass correlate(s) had an NPV of 100% (95% CI 96.7-100.0). CONCLUSIONS: All BI-RADS 3 and 4 US masses with a non-enhancing correlate on pre-treatment MRI were benign. The incorporation of MRI, when ordered by the referring physician, may decrease unnecessary follow-up imaging and/or biopsy if the initial US BI-RADS assessment and management recommendation were to be retrospectively updated. KEY POINTS: • Of 309 BI-RADS 3 or 4 US masses with a corresponding mass on MRI, 140/309 (45%) demonstrated no enhancement whereas 169/309 (55%) demonstrated enhancement • All masses classified as BI-RADS 3 or 4 on US without enhancement on MRI were benign • MRI can rule out malignancy in non-enhancing US masses with an NPV of 100.

RESUMO

The detection of lymph node metastasis affects the management of patients with primary breast cancer significantly in terms of staging, treatment, and prognosis. The main goal for the radiologist is to determine and detect the presence of metastatic disease in nonpalpable axillary lymph nodes with a positive predictive value that is high enough to initially select patients for upfront axillary lymph node dissection. Features that are suggestive of axillary adenopathy may be seen with different imaging modalities, but ultrasound is the method of choice for evaluating axillary lymph nodes and for performing image-guided lymph node interventions. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the available imaging modalities for lymph node assessment in patients diagnosed with primary breast cancer. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: The detection of lymph node metastasis affects the management of patients with primary breast cancer. The main goal for the radiologist is to detect lymph node metastasis in patients to allow for the selection of patients who should undergo upfront axillary lymph node dissection. Features that are suggestive of axillary adenopathy may be seen with mammography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging, but ultrasonography is the imaging modality of choice for evaluating axillary lymph nodes. A normal axillary lymph node is characterized by a reniform shape, a maximal cortical thickness of 3 mm without focal bulging, smooth margins, and, depending on size, a discernable central fatty hilum.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Available data proving the value of DWI for breast cancer diagnosis is mainly for enhancing masses; DWI may be less sensitive and specific in non-mass enhancement (NME) lesions. The objective of this study was to assess the diagnostic accuracy of DWI using different ROI measurement approaches and ADC metrics in breast lesions presenting as NME lesions on dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI. METHODS: In this retrospective study, 95 patients who underwent multiparametric MRI with DCE and DWI from September 2007 to July 2013 and who were diagnosed with a suspicious NME (BI-RADS 4/5) were included. Twenty-nine patients were excluded for lesion non-visibility on DWI (n = 24: 12 benign and 12 malignant) and poor DWI quality (n = 5: 1 benign and 4 malignant). Two readers independently assessed DWI and DCE-MRI findings in two separate randomized readings using different ADC metrics and ROI approaches. NME lesions were classified as either benign (> 1.3 × 10-3 mm2/s) or malignant (≤ 1.3 × 10-3 mm2/s). Histopathology was the standard of reference. ROC curves were plotted, and AUCs were determined. Concordance correlation coefficient (CCC) was measured. RESULTS: There were 39 malignant (59%) and 27 benign (41%) lesions in 66 (65 women, 1 man) patients (mean age, 51.8 years). The mean ADC value of the darkest part of the tumor (Dptu) achieved the highest diagnostic accuracy, with AUCs of up to 0.71. Inter-reader agreement was highest with Dptu ADC max (CCC 0.42) and lowest with the point tumor (Ptu) ADC min (CCC = - 0.01). Intra-reader agreement was highest with Wtu ADC mean (CCC = 0.44 for reader 1, 0.41 for reader 2), but this was not associated with the highest diagnostic accuracy. CONCLUSIONS: Diagnostic accuracy of DWI with ADC mapping is limited in NME lesions. Thirty-one percent of lesions presenting as NME on DCE-MRI could not be evaluated with DWI, and therefore, DCE-MRI remains indispensable. Best results were achieved using Dptu 2D ROI measurement and ADC mean.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To investigate the utility of mammography for breast cancer screening in a population of males at increased risk for breast cancer. METHODS: In this HIPAA-compliant institutional review board-approved single-institution study, mammography records and clinical data of 827 male patients who underwent digital mammography from September 2011-July 2018 were analyzed via the electronic medical record. 664 of these men presented with masses, pain, or nipple discharge and were excluded from this study. The remaining 163 asymptomatic men with familial and/or personal history of breast cancer, or with a known germline mutation in BRCA, underwent screening mammography and were included in this analysis. RESULTS: 163 asymptomatic men (age: mean 63 years, range 24-87 years) underwent 806 screening mammograms. 125/163 (77%) had a personal history of breast cancer and 72/163 (44%) had a family history of breast cancer. 24/163 (15%) were known mutation carriers: 4/24 (17%) BRCA1 and 20/24 (83%) BRCA2. 792/806 (98%) of the screening mammograms were negative (BI-RADS 1 or 2); 10/806 (1.2%) were classified as BI-RADS 3, all of which were eventually downgraded to BI-RADS 2 on follow-up. 4/806 (0.4%) mammograms were abnormal (BI-RADS 4/5): all were malignant. The cancer detection rate in this cohort was 4.9 cancers/1000 examinations. CONCLUSIONS: In our cohort, screening mammography yielded a cancer detection rate of 4.9 cancers/1000 examinations which is like the detection rate of screening mammography in a population of women at average risk, indicating that screening mammography is of value in male patients at high risk for breast cancer.

RESUMO

Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is a promising noninvasive diagnostic technique for investigation of breast cancer metabolism. Spectroscopic imaging data may be obtained following contrast-enhanced MRI by applying the point-resolved spectroscopy sequence (PRESS) or the stimulated echo acquisition mode (STEAM) sequence from the MR voxel encompassing the breast lesion. Total choline signal (tCho) measured in vivo using either a qualitative or quantitative approach has been used as a diagnostic test in the workup of malignant breast lesions. In addition to tCho metabolites, other relevant metabolites, including multiple lipids, can be detected and monitored. MRS has been heavily investigated as an adjunct to morphologic and dynamic MRI to improve diagnostic accuracy in breast cancer, obviating unnecessary benign biopsies. Besides its use in the staging of breast cancer, other promising applications have been recently investigated, including the assessment of treatment response and therapy monitoring. This review provides guidance on spectroscopic acquisition and quantification methods and highlights current and evolving clinical applications of proton MRS.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Breast magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1 H-MRS) has been largely based on choline metabolites; however, other relevant metabolites can be detected and monitored. PURPOSE: To investigate whether lipid metabolite concentrations detected with 1 H-MRS can be used for the noninvasive differentiation of benign and malignant breast tumors, differentiation among molecular breast cancer subtypes, and prediction of long-term survival outcomes. STUDY TYPE: Retrospective. SUBJECTS: In all, 168 women, aged ≥18 years. FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE: Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI at 1.5 T: sagittal 3D spoiled gradient recalled sequence with fat saturation, flip angle = 10°, repetition time / echo time (TR/TE) = 7.4/4.2 msec, slice thickness = 3.0 mm, field of view (FOV) = 20 cm, and matrix size = 256 × 192. 1 H-MRS: PRESS with TR/TE = 2000/135 msec, water suppression, and 128 scan averages, in addition to 16 reference scans without water suppression. ASSESSMENT: MRS quantitative analysis of lipid resonances using the LCModel was performed. Histopathology was the reference standard. STATISTICAL TESTS: Categorical data were described using absolute numbers and percentages. For metric data, means (plus 95% confidence interval [CI]) and standard deviations as well as median, minimum, and maximum were calculated. Due to skewed data, the latter were more adequate; unpaired Mann-Whitney U-tests were performed to compare groups without and with Bonferroni correction. ROC analyses were also performed. RESULTS: There were 111 malignant and 57 benign lesions. Mean voxel size was 4.4 ± 4.6 cm3 . Six lipid metabolite peaks were quantified: L09, L13 + L16, L21 + L23, L28, L41 + L43, and L52 + L53. Malignant lesions showed lower L09, L21 + L23, and L52 + L53 than benign lesions (P = 0.022, 0.027, and 0.0006). Similar results were observed for Luminal A or Luminal A/B vs. other molecular subtypes. At follow-up, patients were split into two groups based on median values for the six peaks; recurrence-free survival was significantly different between groups for L09, L21 + L23, and L28 (P = 0.0173, 0.0024, and 0.0045). DATA CONCLUSION: Quantitative in vivo 1 H-MRS assessment of lipid metabolism may provide an additional noninvasive imaging biomarker to guide therapeutic decisions in breast cancer. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 3 Technical Efficacy: Stage 2 J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2019;50:239-249.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To validate the performance of Mirai, a mammography-based deep learning model, in predicting breast cancer risk over a 1-5-year period in Mexican women. METHODS: This retrospective single-center study included mammograms in Mexican women who underwent screening mammography between January 2014 and December 2016. For women with consecutive mammograms during the study period, only the initial mammogram was included. Pathology and imaging follow-up served as the reference standard. Model performance in the entire dataset was evaluated, including the concordance index (C-Index) and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Mirai's performance in terms of AUC was also evaluated between mammography systems (Hologic versus IMS). Clinical utility was evaluated by determining a cutoff point for Mirai's continuous risk index based on identifying the top 10% of patients in the high-risk category. RESULTS: Of 3110 patients (median age 52.6 years ± 8.9), throughout the 5-year follow-up period, 3034 patients remained cancer-free, while 76 patients developed breast cancer. Mirai achieved a C-index of 0.63 (95% CI: 0.6-0.7) for the entire dataset. Mirai achieved a higher mean C-index in the Hologic subgroup (0.63 [95% CI: 0.5-0.7]) versus the IMS subgroup (0.55 [95% CI: 0.4-0.7]). With a Mirai index score > 0.029 (10% threshold) to identify high-risk individuals, the study revealed that individuals in the high-risk group had nearly three times the risk of developing breast cancer compared to those in the low-risk group. CONCLUSIONS: Mirai has a moderate performance in predicting future breast cancer among Mexican women. CRITICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT: Prospective efforts should refine and apply the Mirai model, especially to minority populations and women aged between 30 and 40 years who are currently not targeted for routine screening. KEY POINTS: The applicability of AI models to non-White, minority populations remains understudied. The Mirai model is linked to future cancer events in Mexican women. Further research is needed to enhance model performance and establish usage guidelines.

RESUMO

Osteosarcoma (OS) of the head and neck is a rare and aggressive disease characterized by the formation of osteoid by malignant osteoblasts. The mandible or maxilla are the most common sites of presentation. Radiologically, these tumors show considerable, destructive growth with periosteal reaction, which can suggest the diagnosis of OS. 3D printing, as an emerging technology, can play a role in orthopedic oncology by providing patient-specific 3D printed models to improve surgical planning and facilitate patient understanding. We present the case of a male in his early 30s with a final histological diagnosis of recurrent osteosarcoma of the left maxilla, where a 3D printed model was helpful for the diagnostic workup, surgical planning, and the procedure.

RESUMO

Breast metastasis from extra-mammary neoplasm is a rare condition, accounting for approximately 1.2%-2% of all breast malignancies. Melanoma, lung cancer, gynecological, and hematological cancers can metastasis to the breast. Male breast metastasis is extremely rare and, no evidence of metastasis from cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma in a male breast have been reported to our knowledge. We describe a case of an 81-year-old man who came to our attention for a palpable solid mass in the upper-outer aspect of the left breast with the final histological diagnosis of breast metastasis from non-keratoblastic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.

RESUMO

Breast cancer accounts for 30% of female cancers and is the second leading cause of cancerrelated deaths in women. The rate is rising at 0.4% per year. Early detection is crucial to improve treatment efficacy and overall survival of women diagnosed with breast cancer. Digital Mammography and Digital Breast Tomosynthesis have widely demonstrated their role as a screening tool. However, screening mammography is limited by radiologist's experience, unnecessarily high recalls, overdiagnosis, overtreatment and, in the case of Digital Breast Tomosynthesis, long reporting time. This is compounded by an increasing shortage of manpower and resources issue, especially among breast imaging specialists. Recent advances in image analysis with the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in breast imaging have the potential to overcome some of these needs and address the clinical challenges in cancer detection, assessment of treatment response, and monitoring disease progression. This article focuses on the most important clinical implication and future application of AI in the field of digital mammography and digital breast tomosynthesis, providing the readers with a comprehensive overview of AI impact in cancer detection, diagnosis, reduction of workload and breast cancer risk stratification.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To investigate the diagnostic value of multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) including dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in non-mass enhancing breast tumors. METHOD: Patients who underwent mpMRI, who were diagnosed with a suspicious non-mass enhancement (NME) on DCE-MRI (BI-RADS 4/5), and who subsequently underwent image-guided biopsy were retrospectively included. Two radiologists independently evaluated all NMEs, on both DCE-MR images and high-b-value DW images. Different mpMRI reading approaches were evaluated: 1) with a fixed apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) threshold (<1.3 malignant, ≥1.3 benign) based on the recommendation by the European Society of Breast Imaging (EUSOBI); 2) with a fixed ADC threshold (<1.5 malignant, ≥1.5 benign) based on recently published trial data; 3) with an ADC threshold adapted to the assigned BI-RADS classification using a previously published reading method; and 4) with individually determined best thresholds for each reader. RESULTS: The final study sample consisted of 66 lesions in 66 patients. DCE-MRI alone had the highest sensitivity for breast cancer detection (94.8-100 %), outperforming all mpMRI reading approaches (R1 74.4-87.1 %, R2 71.7-94.8 %) and DWI alone (R1 74.4 %, R2 79.4 %). The adapted approach achieved the best specificity for both readers (85.1 %), resulting in the best diagnostic accuracy for R1 (86.5 %) but a moderate diagnostic accuracy for R2 (77.2 %). CONCLUSION: mpMRI has limited added diagnostic value to DCE-MRI in the assessment of NME.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To develop a deep network architecture that would achieve fully automated radiologist-level segmentation of cancers at breast MRI. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this retrospective study, 38 229 examinations (composed of 64 063 individual breast scans from 14 475 patients) were performed in female patients (age range, 12-94 years; mean age, 52 years ± 10 [standard deviation]) who presented between 2002 and 2014 at a single clinical site. A total of 2555 breast cancers were selected that had been segmented on two-dimensional (2D) images by radiologists, as well as 60 108 benign breasts that served as examples of noncancerous tissue; all these were used for model training. For testing, an additional 250 breast cancers were segmented independently on 2D images by four radiologists. Authors selected among several three-dimensional (3D) deep convolutional neural network architectures, input modalities, and harmonization methods. The outcome measure was the Dice score for 2D segmentation, which was compared between the network and radiologists by using the Wilcoxon signed rank test and the two one-sided test procedure. RESULTS: The highest-performing network on the training set was a 3D U-Net with dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI as input and with intensity normalized for each examination. In the test set, the median Dice score of this network was 0.77 (interquartile range, 0.26). The performance of the network was equivalent to that of the radiologists (two one-sided test procedures with radiologist performance of 0.69-0.84 as equivalence bounds, P < .001 for both; n = 250). CONCLUSION: When trained on a sufficiently large dataset, the developed 3D U-Net performed as well as fellowship-trained radiologists in detailed 2D segmentation of breast cancers at routine clinical MRI.Keywords: MRI, Breast, Segmentation, Supervised Learning, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Deep Learning Algorithms, Machine Learning AlgorithmsPublished under a CC BY 4.0 license.

RESUMO

Breast lesions with uncertain malignant behavior, also known as high-risk or B3 lesions, are composed of a variety of pathologies with differing risks of associated malignancy. While open excision was previously preferred to manage all high-risk lesions, tailored management has been increasingly favored to reduce overtreatment and spare patients from unnecessary anxiety or high healthcare costs associated with surgical excision. The purpose of this work is to provide the reader with an accurate overview focused on the main high-risk lesions of the breast: atypical intraductal epithelial proliferation (atypical ductal hyperplasia), lobular neoplasia (including the subcategories lobular carcinoma in situ and atypical lobular hyperplasia), flat epithelial atypia, radial scar and papillary lesions, and phyllodes tumor. Beyond merely presenting the radiological aspects of these lesions and the recent literature, information about their potential upgrade rates is discussed in order to provide a useful guide for appropriate clinical management while avoiding the risks of unnecessary surgical intervention (overtreatment).

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To investigate the potential of contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) and radiomics analysis for the noninvasive differentiation of breast cancer invasiveness, hormone receptor status, and tumor grade. PROCEDURES: This retrospective study included 100 patients with 103 breast cancers who underwent pretreatment CEM. Radiomics analysis was performed using MAZDA software. Lesions were manually segmented. Radiomic features were derived from first-order histogram (HIS), co-occurrence matrix (COM), run length matrix (RLM), absolute gradient, autoregressive model, the discrete Haar wavelet transform (WAV), and lesion geometry. Fisher, probability of error and average correlation (POE+ACC), and mutual information (MI) coefficients informed feature selection. Linear discriminant analysis followed by k-nearest neighbor classification (with leave-one-out cross-validation) was used for pairwise texture-based separation of tumor invasiveness and hormone receptor status using histopathology as the standard of reference. RESULTS: Radiomics analysis achieved the highest accuracies of 87.4 % for differentiating invasive from noninvasive cancers based on COM+HIS/MI, 78.4 % for differentiating HR positive from HR negative cancers based on COM+HIS/Fisher, 97.2 % for differentiating human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive/HR-negative from HER2-negative/HR-positive cancers based on RLM+WAV/MI, 100 % for differentiating triple-negative from triple-positive breast cancers mainly based on COM+WAV+HIS/POE+ACC, and 82.1 % for differentiating triple-negative from HR-positive cancers mainly based on WAV+HIS/Fisher. Accuracies for differentiating grade 1 vs. grades 2 and 3 cancers were 90 % for invasive cancers (based on COM/MI) and 100 % for noninvasive cancers (almost entirely based on COM/MI). CONCLUSIONS: Radiomics analysis with CEM has potential for noninvasive differentiation of tumors with different degrees of invasiveness, hormone receptor status, and tumor grade.

RESUMO

The aim of our intra-individual comparison study was to investigate and compare the potential of radiomics analysis of contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) and dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) of the breast for the non-invasive assessment of tumor invasiveness, hormone receptor status, and tumor grade in patients with primary breast cancer. This retrospective study included 48 female patients with 49 biopsy-proven breast cancers who underwent pretreatment breast CEM and MRI. Radiomics analysis was performed by using MaZda software. Radiomics parameters were correlated with tumor histology (invasive vs. non-invasive), hormonal status (HR+ vs. HR-), and grading (low grade G1 + G2 vs. high grade G3). CEM radiomics analysis yielded classification accuracies of up to 92% for invasive vs. non-invasive breast cancers, 95.6% for HR+ vs. HR- breast cancers, and 77.8% for G1 + G2 vs. G3 invasive cancers. MRI radiomics analysis yielded classification accuracies of up to 90% for invasive vs. non-invasive breast cancers, 82.6% for HR+ vs. HR- breast cancers, and 77.8% for G1+G2 vs. G3 cancers. Preliminary results indicate a potential of both radiomics analysis of DCE-MRI and CEM for non-invasive assessment of tumor-invasiveness, hormone receptor status, and tumor grade. CEM may serve as an alternative to MRI if MRI is not available or contraindicated.

RESUMO

To investigate the value of contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) compared to full-field digital mammography (FFDM) in screening breast cancer patients after breast-conserving surgery (BCS), this Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act-compliant, institutional review board-approved retrospective, single-institution study included 971 CEM exams in 541 asymptomatic patients treated with BCS who underwent screening CEM between January 2013 and November 2018. Histopathology, or at least a one-year follow-up, was used as the standard of reference. Twenty-one of 541 patients (3.9%) were diagnosed with ipsi- or contralateral breast cancer: six (28.6%) cancers were seen with low-energy images (equivalent to FFDM), an additional nine (42.9%) cancers were detected only on iodine (contrast-enhanced) images, and six interval cancers were identified within 365 days of a negative screening CEM. Of the 10 ipsilateral cancers detected on CEM, four were detected on low-energy images (40%). Of the five contralateral cancers detected on CEM, two were detected on low-energy images (40%). Overall, the cancer detection rate (CDR) for CEM was 15.4/1000 (15/971), and the positive predictive value (PPV3) of the biopsies performed was 42.9% (15/35). For findings seen on low-energy images, with or without contrast, the CDR was 6.2/1000 (6/971), and the PPV3 of the biopsies performed was 37.5% (6/16). In the post-BCS screening setting, CEM has a higher CDR than FFDM.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To compare annotation segmentation approaches and to assess the value of radiomics analysis applied to diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) for evaluation of breast cancer receptor status and molecular subtyping. PROCEDURES: In this IRB-approved HIPAA-compliant retrospective study, 91 patients with treatment-naïve breast malignancies proven by image-guided breast biopsy, (luminal A, n = 49; luminal B, n = 8; human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 [HER2]-enriched, n = 11; triple negative [TN], n = 23) underwent multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the breast at 3 T with dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI, T2-weighted and DW imaging. Lesions were manually segmented on high b-value DW images and segmentation ROIS were propagated to apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps. In addition in a subgroup (n = 79) where lesions were discernable on ADC maps alone, these were also directly segmented there. To derive radiomics signatures, the following features were extracted and analyzed: first-order histogram (HIS), co-occurrence matrix (COM), run-length matrix (RLM), absolute gradient, autoregressive model (ARM), discrete Haar wavelet transform (WAV), and lesion geometry. Fisher, probability of error and average correlation, and mutual information coefficients were used for feature selection. Linear discriminant analysis followed by k-nearest neighbor classification with leave-one-out cross-validation was applied for pairwise differentiation of receptor status and molecular subtyping. Histopathologic results were considered the gold standard. RESULTS: For lesion that were segmented on DWI and segmentation ROIs were propagated to ADC maps the following classification accuracies > 90% were obtained: luminal B vs. HER2-enriched, 94.7 % (based on COM features); luminal B vs. others, 92.3 % (COM, HIS); and HER2-enriched vs. others, 90.1 % (RLM, COM). For lesions that were segmented directly on ADC maps, better results were achieved yielding the following classification accuracies: luminal B vs. HER2-enriched, 100 % (COM, WAV); luminal A vs. luminal B, 91.5 % (COM, WAV); and luminal B vs. others, 91.1 % (WAV, ARM, COM). CONCLUSIONS: Radiomic signatures from DWI with ADC mapping allows evaluation of breast cancer receptor status and molecular subtyping with high diagnostic accuracy. Better classification accuracies were obtained when breast tumor segmentations could be performed on ADC maps.

RESUMO

The rationale was to assess whether there are differences in multiparametric 18F-FDG PET/MRI biomarkers of contralateral healthy breast tissue in patients with benign and malignant breast tumors. Methods: In this institutional review board-approved prospective single-institution study, 141 women with imaging abnormalities on mammography or sonography (BI-RADS 4/5) underwent combined 18F-FDG PET/MRI of the breast at 3T with dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI, diffusion-weighted imaging, and the radiotracer 18F-FDG. In all patients, the following imaging biomarkers were recorded for the contralateral (tumor-free) breast: breast parenchymal uptake (BPU) (from 18F-FDG PET), mean apparent diffusion coefficient (from diffusion-weighted imaging), background parenchymal enhancement (BPE), and amount of fibroglandular tissue (FGT) (from MRI). Appropriate statistical tests were used to assess differences in 18F-FDG PET/MRI biomarkers between patients with benign and malignant lesions. Results: There were 100 malignant and 41 benign lesions. BPE was minimal in 61 patients, mild in 56, moderate in 19, and marked in 5. BPE differed significantly (P < 0.001) between patients with benign and malignant lesions, with patients with cancer demonstrating decreased BPE in the contralateral tumor-free breast. FGT approached but did not reach significance (P = 0.055). BPU was 1.5 for patients with minimal BPE, 1.9 for mild BPE, 2.2 for moderate BPE, and 1.9 for marked BPE. BPU differed significantly between patients with benign lesions (mean, 1.9) and patients with malignant lesions (mean, 1.8) (P < 0.001). Mean apparent diffusion coefficient did not differ between groups (P = 0.19). Conclusion: Differences in multiparametric 18F-FDG PET/MRI biomarkers, obtained from contralateral tumor-free breast tissue, exist between patients with benign and patients with malignant breast tumors. Contralateral BPE, BPU, and FGT are decreased in breast cancer patients and may potentially serve as imaging biomarkers for the presence of malignancy.

RESUMO

Nonmass-enhancing (NME) lesions constitute a diagnostic challenge in dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) of the breast. Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems provide physicians with advanced tools for analysis, assessment, and evaluation that have a significant impact on the diagnostic performance. Here, we propose a new approach to address the challenge of NME lesion detection and segmentation, taking advantage of independent component analysis (ICA) to extract data-driven dynamic lesion characterizations. A set of independent sources was obtained from the DCE-MRI dataset of breast cancer patients, and the dynamic behavior of the different tissues was described by multiple dynamic curves, together with a set of eigenimages describing the scores for each voxel. A new test image is projected onto the independent source space using the unmixing matrix, and each voxel is classified by a support vector machine (SVM) that has already been trained with manually delineated data. A solution to the high false-positive rate problem is proposed by controlling the SVM hyperplane location, outperforming previously published approaches.
