ABSTRACT
DWI is a noncontrast MRI technique that measures the diffusion of water molecules within biologic tissue. DWI is increasingly incorporated into routine breast MRI examinations. Currently, the main applications of DWI are breast cancer detection and characterization, prognostication, and prediction of treatment response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. In addition, DWI is promising as a noncontrast MRI alternative for breast cancer screening. Problems with suboptimal resolution and image quality have restricted the mainstream use of DWI for breast imaging, but these shortcomings are being addressed through several technologic advancements. In this review, we present an up-to-date assessment of the use of DWI for breast cancer imaging, including a summary of the clinical literature and recommendations for future use.
