RESUMO
Objective To compare the values of dynamic enhanced magnetic resonance imaging(DCE-MRI),digital breast tomosynthesis(DBT),and digital mammography(DM)in the early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer.Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical and imaging data of 65 cases with early breast cancer confirmed by surgical pathology from June 2017 to December 2018.All patients underwent breast DCE-MRI,DM and DBT before surgery.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were drawn,with the pathological results as the gold standard,to evaluate the diagnostic performance of different examination methods.The areas under ROC curves(AUCs)were compared using Z test.The differences among DCE-MRI,DBT and DM in detecting early breast cancer were compared using chi-square test in terms of positive rates,accuracy,sensitivity,and specificity.Pearson correlation analysis was performed to assess the accuracy of these imaging methods in detecting the size of early breast cancer.Results The AUCs of DCE-MRI,DBT,and DM based on the BI-RADS classification for early diagnosis of breast cancer were 0.910,0.832,and 0.700,respectively(z=2.132,P=0.001);the sensitivity of DCE-MRI,DBT,and DM for early breast cancer was 92.3%,70.8%,and 52.5%,the specificity was 65.0%,85.0%,and 79.3%,and the accuracy was 83.1%,70.8%,and 50.8%,indicating that DCE-MRI(χ 2=15.330,P=0.0001) and DBT(χ 2=5.450,P=0.020) had significantly higher diagnostic accuracy than DM.The measurement results of DM,DBT,and DCE-MRI were positively correlated with the pathological measurements(r=0.781,r=0.847,r=0.946;all P<0.01). Conclusions DCE-MRI and DBT have higher positive rates and accuracies than DM in detecting early breast cancer.Medical institutions where DCE-MRI is still not available can use DBT to improve the early detection of breast cancer.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the value of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) in diagnosis of dense breast lesions. METHODS: Clinical and pathological data of 163 patients (58 benign lesions, 122 malignant lesions, and 180 lesions in total) with breast lesions undergoing surgical treatment in Shaoxing Central Hospital from January 2017 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. The lesions were classified into non-homogeneous dense gland type and extremely dense gland type according to BI-RADS creterion. Breast MRI and DBT examinations were performed before the surgery. ROC curve was generated and the diagnostic efficacy of two examination methods for dense breast lesions was evaluated with pathological results as the gold standard. The detection rate, diagnostic accuracy of benign and malignant breast lesions were compared between two methods using chi-square test. The accuracy of lesion size preoperatively evaluated by MRI and DBT was analyzed by Pearson correlation. RESULTS: The detection rate and diagnostic accuracy for benign breast lesions by MRI were higher than those by DBT (91.4% vs. 75.9%, χ2=5.098, P<0.05 and 89.7% vs. 67.2%, χ2=8.617, P<0.01). But there were no significant differences in detection rate and accuracy for malignant lesions by MRI and DBT (98.4% vs. 95.1%, χ2=2.068, P>0.05 and 94.3% vs. 91.8%, χ2=0.569, P>0.05). The areas under the ROC curves of MRI, DBT based on BI-RADS classification were 0.910 and 0.832, respectively (Z=1.860, P>0.05). The sensitivities of MRI, DBT to breast lesions were 93.3% and 86.7%, and the specificities were 68.3% and 79.1%. DBT and MRI measurements were positively correlated with pathological measurements (r=0.887 and 0.949, all P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: DBT can effectively diagnose benign and malignant breast lesions under dense gland background, and it has similar diagnostic efficacy with MRI for breast malignant lesions.

The development and metastasis of uterine tumors depend highly on tumor angiogenesis. Multiphase dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging can quantitatively describe the hemodynamic changes of uterine tumors based on a variety of tracer kinetic models and time-signal curves and by simulating the distribution of contrast inside and outside the blood vessels. Functional parameters can accurately and noninvasively assess tumor angiogenesis. It provides a non-invasive functional evaluation method for the differential diagnosis,staging,response evaluation,and prognostic prediction of uterine tumors.
