Suspicious Axillary Lymph Nodes Identified on Clinical Breast MRI in Patients Newly Diagnosed with Breast Cancer: Can Quantitative Features Improve Discrimination of Malignant from Benign?

摘要

Rationale and ObjectivesTo determine whether quantitative dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) and diffusion-weighted (DW) MRI features can discriminate malignant from benign axillary lymph nodes (ALNs) identified as suspicious on clinical breast MRI in patients newly diagnosed with breast cancer.
