From: How I report breast magnetic resonance imaging studies for breast cancer staging and screening
Adenocarcinoma of unknown primary – suspected occult breast malignancy | |
Local staging – Clinical/imaging size discrepancy | |
Difficulty sizing with conventional imaging – suspected multifocality | |
Invasive lobular carcinoma, dense breasts | |
Non-calcified DCIS | |
Potential candidate for accelerated partial breast irradiation or IORT | |
Response assessment (neoadjuvant chemotherapy) | |
Lesion characterisation/problem solving | |
Residual disease post wide local excision | |
Differential diagnosis of local recurrence and treatment effects | |
Screening of high risk groups (BRCA mutation carriers, previous mantle radiotherapy) |
